Summary The course covers classic and stateoftheart results on computational and gametheoretic questions related to electronic marketplaces. Abstract This PhDlevel course covers classic and stateoftheart results on computational and gametheoretic questions related to electronic marketplaces. We will start with classic and recent results in mechanism design. We will then cover integer programming algorithms for scalable market clearing. Further topics include expressiveness in mechanisms, preference elicitation from multiple parties, multistage mechanisms, communication complexity, automated mechanism design, mechanism design for computationally limited agents, online i.e., dynamic mechanisms, and revenue maximization techniques. Applications discussed vary from year to year, and may include combinatorial auctions, sponsored search, display advertising markets, kidney exchange, prediction markets, and automated market making.
