Registration Deadline: August 25, 2023 3 months from now
To apply for Funding you must register by: June 23, 2023 23 days from now
Parent Program:
Location: MSRI: Simons Auditorium, Atrium

Description
Gt mechanism design
The workshop  will  open  with  overview/perspective  talks  on  algorithmic  game  theory  and  the theory and practice of market design; the afternoon will feature a panel on active research areas in the field (again, at the overview level). The next 2 days will consist of introductory mini-course and tutorials, on topics such as game theory, matching, auctions, and mechanism design. The following day will focus on applicable tools and technology, such as lattice theory, limit methods, continuous optimization, and extremal graph theory. The workshop will conclude with a panel discussion on major open problems.
