Summer School on Algorithmic Economics

近年来，在计算机科学和经济学的交叉点上出现了一个新的领域：算法经济学。到目前为止，学生们很少有机会集中接触这一领域。这是有史以来第一个关于算法经济学的暑期学校，将于2012年夏季在卡内基梅隆大学举行，将汇集大约50名计算机科学和社会科学的博士和高级本科生；还有算法经济学领域的顶尖研究人员，他们将集中讲授各自专业领域的课程。暑期课程将涵盖机制设计、均衡计算、社会选择、社会网络、市场设计和公平分配等领域。拟议中的暑期学校将促进算法经济学内部的理解，并促进计算机科学家和社会科学家之间的合作。它将强调算法经济学中的新兴领域，并帮助提高对这些领域的兴趣，从而导致概念和技术进步。该暑期学校还将为未来的算法经济学暑期学校奠定基础。

Recent years have seen the growth of a new field at the intersection of computer science and economics: algorithmic economics. So far there were few opportunities for students to receive a concentrated exposure to this field. This first-ever summer school on algorithmic economics, to be held at Carnegie Mellon University in Summer 2012, will bring together roughly fifty Ph.D. and advanced undergraduate students from computer science and the social sciences; and top researchers in algorithmic economics, who will give concentrated classes on their areas of expertise. The summer school will cover areas such as mechanism design, equilibrium computation, social choice, social networks, market design, and fair division. The proposed summer school will promote understanding within algorithmic economics, as well as foster collaboration between computer scientists and social scientists. It will emphasize emerging areas in algorithmic economics and help increase interest in these areas, thereby leading to conceptual and technical advances. The summer school will also serve as a basis for future summer schools on algorithmic economics.
