Summer Program on Game Theory and Economics

该补助金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经济学和其他学科的科学家扩大。 每年夏天，该中心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专题举办密集的教学课程，并辅之以另一段时间的非正式研究活动。这汇集了一个大型的国际研究小组-成熟的学者，初级教师和研究生的混合-他们的兴趣代表了博弈论的理论和应用方面的各种各样。 2006-2008年的方案是1990年至2005年在斯托尼布鲁克举行的一系列夏季活动的延续，每项活动平均吸引约120人参加。正式活动通常包括一次为期五天的会议，包括全体会议和平行会议，以及应邀和提交的文件;关于选定主题的两个讲习班;以及不时就选定主题进行一至两周的强化教学。这种形式和方法的更广泛的影响是显而易见的，在扩展纯博弈论研究的前沿和扩大在经济学和其他领域的应用范围以前的程序的成功。 该系列会议还特别努力促进包括博士生在内的年轻学者，为他们提供一个平台，展示他们的研究，并从他们的前辈和同龄人那里获得反馈。

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.
