The lab uses game theory and optimization to study incentives in markets and institutions.

AboutAbout the lab
Exploring algorithms for incentives through game theory, optimization, and data science.
The lab combines game theory, optimization, and data science to study algorithms for incentives in markets, institutions, and decision-making.
Its stated research interests are the theory and applications of market design, and repeated games and learning.
The lab's website also compiles and publishes the workshops and seminars it has held so far, along with teaching materials.
Key terms

- incentive
- A reward or mechanism that motivates people when they choose how to act.
- combinatorial auction
- An auction format in which bidders can bid on bundles of multiple items together.
