Research Issues at the Interface of Computer Science and Economics |
Organizers
|
Research Issues at the Interface of Computer Science and Economics will explore a range of issues where there is opportunity for research interaction between computer scientists and economists. It will be structured to facilitate discussions among people working in different discisplines, who may have different perspectives that can be usefully synthesized in approaching problems of shared interest. We plan for the workshop to lead to the preparation of a report to the National Science Foundation outlining emerging opportunities in this area. Funding for the workshop is provided by NSF, and participants from NSF will be in attendance. The central topics of the workshop are fundamental to current research in both computing and economics, and also have the potential to inform design and policy considerations on a range of issues. These topics include models of learning by computational agents in economic settings; research on the role of complex networks in economic systems; the welfare properties and stability of equilibria; the computational tractability of basic economic problems, and the design of computationally feasible mechanisms; and the role of information, trust, and reputation in markets. |
