About
Min Zhu’s research lies at the intersection of market design and experimental economics, with a particular focus on how market size shapes the performance of matching mechanisms. In her highly cited experimental study, “Matching in the Large: An Experimental Study” (2017), Zhu systematically investigates how scaling up from small to large markets—from 4 to 40 participants—affects outcomes under the Boston and Deferred Acceptance (DA) mechanisms. Her work provides critical empirical evidence that market size is not merely a background condition but an active force influencing strategic behavior, efficiency, and welfare. By demonstrating that larger markets can mitigate some inefficiencies while amplifying others, Zhu’s contributions have informed both theoretical models and practical policy design in school choice and labor markets. Although early in her career, her findings have already garnered attention for bridging laboratory experiments with real-world market design challenges. Zhu’s research continues to shape how economists understand the interplay between mechanism design and scale, making her a rising voice in experimental economics.
