Summer Program on Game Theory and Economics

这项拨款为经济学博弈论中心的一系列年度夏季活动提供了新的支持，这些活动旨在刺激和传播博弈论及其应用研究的新进展，并使博弈论的概念和方法发展可供越来越多的经济学和其他学科的科学家使用。每年夏天，中心都会举行面向研究的会议和讲习班，有时还就一个具有重大意义的题目举办密集的教学课程，并辅以另一段时间的非正式研究活动。这汇集了一个庞大的国际研究小组-由知名学者，初级教师和研究生组成-他们的兴趣代表了博弈论的理论和应用方面的多样化。2006-2008年的项目是石溪分校从1990年到2005年举办的一系列夏季活动的延续，每次活动平均吸引了约120名参与者。正式活动通常包括为期五天的会议，包括全体会议和平行会议，以及邀请和贡献的文件；关于选定主题的两次讲习班；偶尔会有一到两周的关于选定主题的强化教学。这种形式和方法的广泛影响在之前的项目的成功中是显而易见的，这些项目扩展了纯博弈论的研究前沿，扩大了经济学和其他领域的应用范围。该系列会议还特别努力促进包括博士生在内的年轻学者，为他们提供一个展示研究成果的平台，并获得他们的前辈和同龄人的反馈。

This grant provides renewed support for a series of annual summer activities of the Center for Game Theory in Economics designed to stimulate and disseminate new advances in research on game theory and its applications, and to make conceptual and methodological developments in game theory available to an expanding group of scientists in economics and other disciplines. Each summer the Center holds research-oriented conferences and workshops and, on occasion, an intensive course of instruction on a topic of major significance, complemented by a further period of informal research activities. This brings together a large international group of researchers--a mix of established scholars, junior faculty, and graduate students--whose interests represent a diverse array of theoretical and applied aspects of game theory. The programs for 2006-2008 are a continuation of the series of summer activities held at Stony Brook from 1990 to 2005, each of which attracted about 120 participants on average. Formal activities normally include a five-day conference with plenary and parallel sessions, and invited and contributed papers; two workshops on selected themes; and from time to time one to two weeks of intensive instruction on selected topics. The broader impacts of this this format and approach are evident in the success of the previous programs in extending the frontiers of research in pure game theory and expanding the scope of applications in economics and other fields. This conference series also makes special efforts to promote young scholars including doctoral students by giving them a platform to present their research and obtain feedback from both their seniors and their peer group.
