About the Book
This is a new book (to be published by Cambridge University Press) about economics and computation, covering topics that are motivated by the consideration of economic incentives within computational systems and by computational considerations in economic systems. Examples of these systems include electronic markets, social computing platforms, or systems for resource allocation. The primary audience is an advanced-level undergraduate or first-year graduate class in a computer science, informatics, applied mathematics or operations research department.
