		This paper offers a systematic exploration of reputation mechanism design in trading environments with opportunistic sellers of commonly known cost and ability parameters, imperfect monitoring of a seller's actions, and two possible seller effort levels, one of which has no value to buyers.
		The objective of reputation mechanisms in such pure moral hazard settings is to induce sellers to exert high effort as often as possible.
		I study the impact of various mechanism parameters (such as the granularity of solicited feedback, the format of the public reputation profile, the policy regarding missing feedback, and the rules for admitting new sellers) on the resulting market efficiency.

		The design and development of the COROT hold-down and deployment mechanisms was extensively supported by the ESTEC Mechanisms Section, to ensure the correct implementation of the specific mechanism requirements and to ensure consistency with the system and science requirements.
		Four preloaded hold down points were added to prevent dynamic interference between cover and baffle during launch vibration.
		The final result is a robust mechanism with high functional and structural torque margins and low shocks.

	Neutral equilibrium spring mechanism design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		In many cases it is advantageous to statically balance a mechanism throughout its range of motion.
		Mechanisms hampered by undesired spring action, such as hand prostheses, will have similar advantages when spring force compensation mechanisms neutralise the effect of elastic forces, as from the cosmetic covering.
		The principles resulting from this research are applied in the following projects: design of a voluntary closing hand prosthesis, design of passive spring force compensation systems, design of high efficiency mechanisms, and the design of mechanical instruments for minimally invasive surgery.

	Trust-Based Mechanism Design (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		We define trust-based mechanism design as an augmentation of traditional mechanism design in which agents take into account the degree of trust that they have in their counterparts when determining their allocations.
		We also empirically study the evolution of our mechanism when iterated and show that, in the long run, it always chooses the most successful and cheapest agents to fulfill an allocation and chooses better allocations than other comparable models when faced with biased reporting.
		This mechanism is embedded in a task allocation scenario in which the trust in an agent is derived from the reported performance success of that agent by all the other agents in the system.

	SSRN-Against Compromise: A Mechanism Design Approach by Zvika Neeman, Alon Klement
		We solve for the settlement mechanism and fee-shifting rule that minimize the likelihood of litigation yet maintain optimal deterrence under the assumption that the main dispute between the parties is about the defendant's liability.
		The solution turns out to be surprisingly simple: let the defendant plead liable or not, and then, if the plaintiff decides to proceed to trial although the defendant pleads not liable, discourage any further settlement between the parties, and shift all litigation costs to the loser in trial (following the English fee-shifting rule).
		Using a mechanism design approach we demonstrate that no other mechanism can implement a lower rate of litigation without undermining deterrence.

	IBFI Schloss Dagstuhl - Dagstuhl Seminar 02241 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		One of the problems market designers face is to develop trading mechanisms for these complex situations that are still transparent from the trader's perspective and nevertheless guarantee outcomes that also are sufficiently close to efficiency in the economic sense of the word.
		The challenges of market design are to create rules for trading interaction, in particular for auctions, that lead to economically desired allocations of items and payments, and that are immune against manipulation by strategic behavior of the participants.
		Finally, every (electronic) market design has to be embedded into a broader set of issues, for example the industrial environment in which it takes place, asking for careful economic considerations of the impact of design on market outcome in the short and the long term.
