Market Failure, Organ Shortage, Pandemic, Energy Crisis, and Climate Change: The Economic Architecture of Cooperation

Many of our societal and economic challenges arise because individual interests conflict with the common good. This lecture highlights, through concrete policy examples—from organ donation to pandemics, energy crises, and climate change—the reasons why cooperation often fails. At the same time, it demonstrates how we can use modern economic approaches to create incentive and decision-making architectures that address "cooperation in crisis" and help overcome the challenges of our time.
