Workshop on Game Practice and Preference aggregation

Wednesday, June 23rd 2010, 09h30 - 17h30

Location :

Université Paris-Dauphine
Place du Maréchal de Lattre de Tassigny, 75775 Paris 
Room A711 (seventh floor)


Organizers:
Laurent Gourvès (laurent.gourves@lamsade.dauphine.fr) and
Stefano Moretti (stefano.moretti@dauphine.fr)

Abstract:
Game Practice would not exist without Game Theory. At the same time, the Game Theory 
community has recognized that there is a risk of sterile developments if theory is not fed on 
challenges coming from confronting the real world. In  this respect, we would like to start a 
discussion around applications of Game Theory to problems dealing with preference aggregation and 
voting, giving particular emphasis to the social and economic dimensions of problems from computer 
networks, cost/reward sharing and experiments.

The purpose of the meeting is to identify some of the main interests of the “local” community in the 
field of “real world applications” of Game Theory and to start looking at new collective decision 
problems with a Game Practice perspective.
