Full Text of JOE Listing:
In recent years, economists and computer scientists have collaborated with mathematicians, operations research experts, and practitioners to improve the design and operations of real-world marketplaces. Such work relies on robust feedback between theory and practice, inspiring new mathematics closely linked – and directly applicable – to market and mechanism design questions. This cross-disciplinary program seeks to expand the domains in which existing market design solutions can be applied; address foundational questions regarding our ways of developing and evaluating mechanisms; and build useful analytic frameworks for applying theory to practical marketplace design.
SLMath will award research memberships in its program in Mathematics and Computer Science of Market and Mechanism Design, which will be held August 21 - December 20, 2023.
The current per diem level is up to $4,500 per month for stays of one month or more. Note: visits shorter than 30 consecutive days are not supported.
Eligibility: For scientists in math, computer science, economics, or other closely relevant field who are at the postdoctoral or subsequent career stages.
