New trends in Mechanism Design
NEW TRENDS IN MECHANISM DESIGN September 5-9, 2011 Copenhagen Business School Denmark Workshop and Summer School organized by CFEM, Center for Research in the Foundations of Electronic Markets (cfem.dk) New Trends in Mechanism Design will bring together researchers from economics and computer science working on the design and analysis of economic mechanisms and on applications of such mechanism to solve real-life economic problems for companies, organizations and governments. The workshop will cover both the design of mechanisms using game theoretical analysis of incentives, and the calibration of mechanisms using experimental techniques. A main focus of the workshop will be contributions from computer science to the field of mechanism design. Over the last decade, such contributions have intensified due to the challenges raised by new application domains in the age of the Internet, in some case leading to exciting new theoretical models. The applications considered at the wor...
