Professor Morrill's research centers on Market Design applications in school choice and auction theory, developing novel mechanisms for efficient and fair resource allocation.

Key methodological contributions include characterizations of matching algorithms like Top Trading Cycles and Deferred Acceptance.
His publication history (2010-2022) reveals consistent focus on matching theory and market design across leading journals including Journal of Economic Theory and American Economic Journal. Recent work analyzes ranking mechanisms in competitive processes (2022), while earlier research established foundational characterizations of matching algorithms.
