Summer School on Game Theory and Social Choice June 21 - June 24 and July 9 - July 13, 2021

Image
Link Game theory and social choice are very popular research topics in the study of multi-agent systems. Being rich by themselves, they are also interacting with other research domains, generating many interesting results.  The objective of the summer school is to provide fundamental knowledge in game theory and social choice to researchers or research students who may find the topics useful in their own research or senior undergraduate students who are looking for potential research directions.  At the same time, the students will also have the opportunity to learn about the state of the art in these fields via keynote talks.  The summer school is organized by  Department of Computer Science ,  City University of Hong Kong  via zoom during June 21 - June 24 and July 9 - July 13, 2021. The intended participants of the summer school are students within computer science, or students with mathematics or economics background interested in game theory and social...

Efficient, Fair, and Incentive-Compatible Healthcare Rationing: Talk at the AUSTRALASIAN Microeconomic Theory Seminar

Image
On Wednesday  21 April  at  12pm AEST  (Sydney/Melbourne time), Haris Aziz ( University of New South Wales ) will present  Efficient, Fair, and Incentive-Compatible Healthcare Rationing .  Information about forthcoming seminars is available at  our website .  Haris Aziz  (University of New South Wales):  Efficient, Fair, and Incentive-Compatible Healthcare Rationing   (joint with Florian Brandl) . Abstract :  In this talk, I will report on ongoing work on healthcare rationing algorithms. Fair and efficient rationing of healthcare resources has emerged as an important issue that has been discussed by medical experts, policy-makers, and the general public. We consider a healthcare rationing problem where medical units are to be allocated to patients. Each unit is reserved for one of several categories and the categories may have different priorities for the patients. We present flexible allocation rules that respect the p...
