Sitzung der GOR-AG „Game Theory & Behavioral Management Science“

Dear colleagues,

We kindly invite you to the fourth working group meeting taking place 13th to 14th of February 2024 at the Fraunhofer Center for Maritime Logistics and Services, Blohmstraße 32, 21079 Hamburg.

The workshop is planned to start Tuesday after lunch and to end Wednesday afternoon. The working group aims at fostering collaboration and state-of-the-art research at the interface of behavioral management science and behavioral & game theory. Targeted research fields include management, economics, computer science, mathematics and other related fields considering game-theoretical approaches. The relevant methodology incorporates cooperative and non-cooperative game theory as well as experiments and field studies.

Registration: To register, please use the form at t1p.de/ke1yi by 15th of December 2023. 

Call for Papers: If you would like to present your work, please submit the title and the abstract along with the registration. 

Fee: There is no participation fee for GOR members, speakers (incl. lightning talks), and members of the hosting institutions. All other participants will be charged 100 € which is equivalent to the annual membership fee of the GOR. Please indicate in your registration if you are a GOR member.

Further information and a detailed schedule will follow at the beginning of January.

Kind regards, Timo Heinrich & Christina Strobel

Doktorandenkurs: Advanced Topics in Mathematical Programming

The course is aimed at doctoral students in the field of business administration or related subjects which seek to deepen their understanding of mathematical programming methods in modeling and optimization. Successful participants will be able to:

  • analyze structural elements of common optimization models for problems in research and business practice
  • understand important theoretical aspects that drive successful implementations for complex optimization problems
  • employ advanced mathematical programming techniques to strengthen model formulations and improve solution performance
  • develop mathematical decomposition approaches to tackle large-scale optimization problems

Date: 6.2.2024 – 9.2.2024

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 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.

Workshop Organizers: Martin Bichler (Technical University of Munich), Péter Biró (KRTK, Eotvos Lorand Research Network)
