Summer Program on Game Theory and Economics

这笔赠款支持1999年夏季计划在经济学博弈论中心，在斯托尼布鲁克（USB）的纽约的州立大学，一系列的年度夏季计划的延续，强调博弈论及其在经济学中的应用，以及其他领域。 博弈论在当代经济理论的许多研究中起着重要的作用，因此在世界各地的优秀研究中心的有组织活动中经常出现。 USB的夏季计划是独一无二的，但是，在其明确的重点博弈论，无论是理论和应用。这一重点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。1990年至1998年，有1300多人参加，这一方法和拟议的夏季方案的价值得到了证明。基本程序格式包括研究型会议和研讨会，也在博弈论中选定的主题指令。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，但这个夏季计划旨在使博弈论的概念和方法发展可供经济学和其他学科的学者扩大。与此同时，暑期项目为这些学者提供了一个向博弈理论家展示他们的想法和关注点的场所，使他们能够探索富有成效的新合作领域。更具体地说，暑期课程包括：1）国际会议; 2）选定主题的研讨会; 3）密集课程。 国际会议为期五天。会议的组织方式沿着过去几年在USB举行的会议，包括全体会议和平行会议，以及应邀提交的文件。讲习班通常为期两周。每个讲习班为期2至5天，某一年的讲习班次数也相应不同。为期一周的强化课程包括讲座和讨论选定的主题，对理论和应用都具有普遍重要性。

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.
