"Algorithms, Approximation, and Learning in Market and Mechanism Design"
November 6-9, 2023 in Berkeley, California
Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath)
Priority Funding Application Deadline: August 31, 2023
Established researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students in
all related fields and industry are invited to join world-renowned
mathematicians, computer scientists, economists, and other experts at
the Simons Laufer Mathematical Sciences Institute (SLMath), formerly
MSRI, in Berkeley, California at "Algorithms, Approximation, and
Learning in Market and Mechanism Design" from November 6-9, 2023.
Workshop registration is open for both in-person and online-only
attendees. Those who plan to attend via Zoom only will receive workshop
links in advance of the event. Registration is open through the event
dates.
_SLMath workshops are free of charge to attend, thanks to the generous
support of our funders, including the National Science Foundation and
the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation._

ALGORITHMS, APPROXIMATION, AND LEARNING IN MARKET AND MECHANISM DESIGN
In recent years, economists and computer scientists have collaborated
with mathematicians, operations research experts, and practitioners to
improve the design and operations of real-world marketplaces. Such work
relies on robust feedback between theory and practice, inspiring new
mathematics closely linked - and directly applicable - to market and
mechanism design [3] questions.
This workshop is aimed at exploring core subjects in the field of market
and mechanism design, such as the design of non-convex auction markets,
the design of matching markets with preferences, algorithmic mechanism
design, and learning in games. These topics are interrelated and deeply
rooted in mathematics and computer science. Each day of the 4-day
workshop is devoted to one of these topics with talks by leading
scholars in the field and panel discussions on major open problems.

FUNDING SUPPORT & RESOURCES FOR WORKSHOP ATTENDEES
Funding applications submitted by the priority deadline receive full
consideration; later applications are subject to remaining funds. Awards
are typically made eight weeks before the workshop.
Groups underrepresented in research-intensive contexts including women,
gender-expansive individuals, minorities, and mathematicians and related
scholars not located at research centers are welcomed and encouraged to
apply.
Resources for Workshop Attendees: SLMath is pleased to be able to offer
a private room for nursing parents. Childcare grants are available for
researchers with children under the age of 18 (limited to U.S. Citizens
and Permanent Residents, and foreign visitors with a visa status that
allows for compensation, such as a J-1). See website for full details.
