Learning Outcomes

Participants of this module have learned how to critically read, evaluate, present, and discuss scientific papers from the area of economics and computation, broadly defined.

Content

In this seminar, researchers from our group (and invited guests) present results either from their own research, or from research papers that are relevant for the research of the group. The topics are from the area of economics and computation (a.k.a. algorithmic economics), which includes---but is not limited to---research fields like algorithmic game theory, algorithmic mechanism design, and computational social choice. The seminar is an excellent opportunity for advanced students to get in touch with current topics in this research field, or to present their own results in this context.
