Overview
Editor: Jörg Rothe
- Second edition of first textbook on computational social choice
- Connects economic and computational dimensions of collective
decision-making
- Explores the interrelations between algorithmic game theory,
computational social choice, and fair division
Part of the book series: Classroom Companion: Economics (CCE)
About this book
This textbook connects three vibrant areas at the interface between
economics and computer science: algorithmic game theory, computational
social choice, and fair division. It thus offers an interdisciplinary
treatment of collective decision making from an economic and
computational perspective. Part I introduces to algorithmic game theory,
focusing on both noncooperative and cooperative game theory. Part II
introduces to computational social choice, focusing on both preference
aggregation (voting) and judgment aggregation. Part III introduces to
fair division, focusing on the division of both a single divisible
resource ("cake-cutting") and multiple indivisible and unshareable
resources ("multiagent resource allocation"). In all these parts, much
weight is given to the algorithmic and complexity-theoretic aspects of
problems arising in these areas, and the interconnections between the
three parts are of central interest.
