Algorithmic mechanism design

Algorithmic mechanism design

Algorithmic mechanism design (AMD) lies at the intersection of economic game theory and computer science.

Noam Nisan and Amir Ronen, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, first coined Algorithmic mechanism design in a research paper supported by grants from the Israeli ministry of Science and the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities. [ [http://iew3.technion.ac.il/~amirr/AMDJ.pdf] Algorithmic mechanism design]

It combines ideas such as utility maximization and mechanism design from economics, rationality and Nash equilibrium from game theory, with such concepts as complexity and algorithm design from discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science. Examples of topics include networking, peering, online auctions and exchanges, online advertising, search engine's page ranking.
