Talk:Vincent Crawford

suggestions
It would be good to link Crawford's and Sobel's Wikipedia pages to the "cheap talk" article.

Crawford is now Drummond Professor of Political Economy Emeritus and Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College.

Crawford should also be listed in Category:University of California, San Diego faculty.

It would be useful to link to Crawford's 2017 Nancy Schwartz Memorial Lecture at https://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/news-events/lecture/schwartz/speakers/2010-2019/2017.aspx

The page should clarify that the Drummond Professorship is in the University of Oxford. It carries Fellowship of All Souls College, but that is separate from the professorship.

 * Hi, thank you for your suggestions. I've linked to cheap talk in the "research" part of this article, but I'll have to iron out the English later. I've also added the category, clarified the All Souls vs Uni thing and added the first three suggested papers.
 * I'm curious what the rationale for including the last paper and the Nancy Schwartz Memorial Lecture are. If the former happens to be very significant among his works and the latter is notable within the economics profession, I'm happy to add them to the article but I don't want it to become an indiscriminate list of his (many) achievements. By the way, adding "~" behind your comments will sign them. Best, Caius G. (talk) 10:45, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Hello Caius G. and thanks for all. The Schwartz Lecture is probably the most important independently run lecture series in economics. About half of the lecturers have since won Nobel prizes (one of the highest such correlations, e.g. much higher than the Thomson-Reuters citation-based predictions that journalists often focus on). I added the last paper because I think it's an important early (despite late publication) contribution to behavioral market and mechanism design (as the original Myerson-Satterthwaite paper, which it "behavioralizes", was an important early contribution to Nash equilibrium-based market and mechanism design).

 * , oh sorry, for some reason I thought that the Schwartz Lecture did not have a Wikipedia article and wasn't notable otherwise. I have added both the lecture and the recent paper, the former under "career". Best, Caius G. (talk) 17:45, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * It all looks great, but Kelso is the first author on the Kelso and Crawford 1982 Econometrica paper.MissAngieM (talk) 01:12, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , done. Feel free to edit and fix the formatting if I messed it up, the "Jr." is a bit difficult to deal with. Thank you for your help! Caius G. (talk) 14:44, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

The paper "Efficient Mechanisms for Level-k Bilateral Trading" is now published, Games and Economic Behavior 127 (2021), 80-101. The link to Crawford's c.v. is broken. A better link is https://econweb.ucsd.edu/~vcrawfor/Vincent_Crawford_C_V.pdf or https://www.economics.ox.ac.uk/files/vincentcrawfordcvpdf  MissAngieM (talk) 17:21, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * , thanks for bringing it to my attention. I've fixed both, the broken link might be a consequence of his retirement (unfortunate, although I hope that his research remains as interesting as ever!). I have also reworded the lead (=beginning) of the article slightly to reflect that he is now Senior Research Fellow at Oxford, but refrained from adding his emeritus positions to not overload the introductory paragraph. Let me know if you have any other suggestions! Best, Caius G. (talk) 20:20, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
