Caltech Microeconomic Dynamics Workshop
May 23-25, 2008

Baxter Hall, Room 25
California Institute of Technology
Pasadena, California USA

Caltech is hosting a mini-conference on microeconomic dynamics to be held May 23-25 2008 (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). The focus will be on dynamic models in microeconomics and game theory. We are inviting a mixture of junior and senior academics who have interests in modeling dynamics in either microeconomics or game theory.

The idea is to bring together people from diverse fields (economics, engineering, management science, and evolutionary biology) and at different career stages and get them talking about issues to do with modeling dynamic phenomena in microeconomics and game theory.

Topics include equilibrium selection dynamics, dynamic games (both discrete and continuous time), dynamic mechanism design, algorithmic game theory (e.g., routing games, learning in games, adjustment dynamics), dynamic cooperative game theory.

Presentations will be 45 min, with an additional 10 minutes for questions.

Noted Speakers: Daron Asemoglu (MIT), Larry Blume (Cornell), John Doyle (Caltech), David Easley (Cornell), Amy Greenwald (Brown), Drew Fudenberg (Harvard), David Levine (UCLA), Anna Nagurney (Massachusetts), Asu Ozdaglar (MIT), Tim Roughgarden (Stanford), Donald Saari (UC Irvine), Bill Sandholm (Wisconsin), Ilya Segal (Stanford), Jeff Shamma (Georgia Tech), George Zaccour (HEC Montreal).

Contact: If you are interested in attending this workshop, please register here by the 15th of May so that catering arrangements can be finalized. If you have any questions about the workshop, please contact Tiffany Kim.
