This course will provide students with the vocabulary and modeling tools to reason about such design problems. Emphasis will be on understanding basic economic and game theoretic concepts that are relevant across many application domains, and on case studies that demonstrate how to apply these concepts to real-world design problems. Topics include auction and contest design, equilibrium analysis, cryptocurrencies, design of networks and network protocols, reputation systems, social choice, and social network analysis. Case studies include BGP routing, Bitcoin, eBay's reputation system, Facebook's advertising mechanism, Mechanical Turk, and dynamic pricing in Uber/Lyft (from the Spring 2024 Stanford CS269I course description). +Course notes for Stanford's algorithmic game theory course. ```{tableofcontents} ``` diff --git a/docs/notes/lec10_prediction.md b/docs/notes/lec10_prediction.md index d2ab417..33c6c41 100644 --- a/docs/notes/lec10_prediction.md +++ b/docs/notes/lec10_prediction.md @@ -1,5 +1,12 @@ # Prediction Markets and Information Cascades +```{figure} ../images/ox.jpg +:name: school-choice +:height: 400px + +Muskox *(Ovibos moschatus)* male, Dovrefjell National Park, Norway.
