Summer Program on Game Theory and Economics

这笔赠款支持纽约州立大学石溪分校 (USB) 经济学博弈论中心 1999 年夏季项目，这是一系列年度夏季项目的延续，强调博弈论及其在经济学和其他领域的应用。 博弈论在当代经济理论的许多研究中发挥着重要作用，因此成为世界各地杰出研究中心有组织的活动中的一个常见主题。 然而，USB 夏季项目的独特之处在于它明确关注博弈论，包括理论和应用。这种关注的力量在组织委员会的成员中显而易见，该委员会由该中心的成员以及来自美国和国外其他机构的专家组成。从 1990 年到 1998 年，该方法和拟议的夏季项目的成功证明了该方法和拟议的夏季项目的价值，参与者超过 1300 人。基本课程形式包括以研究为导向的会议和研讨会，以及博弈论选定主题的指导。因此，虽然主要目标是刺激和传播理论和应用方面的新进展，但这个暑期项目旨在为越来越多的经济学和其他学科的学者提供博弈论概念和方法论的发展。同时，暑期项目为这些学者向博弈论学家展示他们的想法和关注点提供了一个场所，使双方能够探索富有成效的新合作领域。更具体地说，暑期项目包括：1）国际会议； 2）选定主题的研讨会； 3）强化课程。 此次国际会议为期五天。其组织方式与过去几年在 USB 举办的活动相同，包括全体会议和平行会议，以及受邀论文和投稿论文。研讨会通常为期两周。每个研讨会持续两到五天，每年举办的研讨会数量也相应有所不同。为期一周的强化课程包括对理论和应用具有普遍重要性的选定主题的讲座和讨论。

This grant supports the 1999 summer program at the Center for Game Theory in Economics, at the State University of New York at Stony Brook (USB), a continuation of a series of annual summer programs emphasizing game theory and its applications to economics, as well as other fields. Game theory plays a significant role in much of the contemporary research in economic theory and is accordingly a frequent theme in organized activities at outstanding research centers throughout the world. USB's summer program is unique, however, in its explicit focus on game theory, both theoretical and applied. The strength of this focus is apparent in the membership of the organizing committee which consists of the members of the center plus experts from other institutions in the United States and abroad. The value of the approach and of the proposed summer programs is evidenced by their success from 1990 to 1998, with over 1300 participants. The basic program format includes research-oriented conferences and workshops and, also instruction on selected topics in game theory. Thus, while the primary objective is to stimulate and disseminate new advances in both theory and applications, this summer program serves to make conceptual and methodological developments in game theory available to an expanding group of scholars in economics and other disciplines. At the same time the summer program provides a venue for these scholars to present their ideas and concerns to game-theorists, enabling both to explore fruitful new areas of collaboration..More specifically, the summer program consists of: 1) an international conference; 2) workshops on selected themes; 3) an intensive course. The international conference lasts for five days. It is organized along the same lines as those held at USB, in the past years, with plenary and parallel sessions, and invited and contributed papers. The workshops normally cover a two-week period. Each workshop lasts from two to five days, and the number of workshops in a given year vary accordingly. The week-long intensive course consists of lectures and discussion on selected topics of general importance for both theory and applications.
