Mechanism design theory allows for people to distinguish situations in which markets work well from those in which they do not. The theory has helped economists identify efficient trading mechanisms, regulation schemes, and voting procedures. Today, the theory plays a central role in many areas of [[economics]] and parts of [[political science]].<ref name="UC"/> == Personal life == In 1980 Myerson married Gina Weber and the couple had two children, Daniel and Rebecca.<ref>{{cite web|publisher=Nobelprize.org|url=http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/economics/laureates/2007/myerson-autobio.html|title=Roger B.
