Economics and Computation: The Second Edition
The second edition of the textbook “Economics and Computation: An Introduction to Algorithmic Game Theory, Computational Social Choice, and Fair Division” (edited and coauthored by Jörg Rothe) has just been published by Springer.
It explores the interrelations between algorithmic game theory, computational social choice, and fair division, three vibrant areas at the interface between economics, collective decision-making, and computer science. In all these parts, much weight is given to the algorithmic and complexity-theoretic aspects of problems arising in these areas, and the interconnections between the three parts are of central interest. In this talk, an overview of the content of this textbook will be given and some gems from these areas will be presented.
