Grant: Canada Research Chairs
University of British Columbia
$120,000.00
Algorithmic Game Theory
FY 2019-20
Summary
Dr. Fu's research program studies the design and analysis of online marketplaces. The e-commerce has ushered in marketplaces that contrast with traditional ones in their scales, dynamics, information flows, and interactions with participants. Businesses such as online advertisements auctions, pricing on sharing economy platforms, and third-party seller recommendation in retail markets pose challenges in the design of large systems participated by strategically behaving agents. This project studies such systems by combining perspectives and tools from economics, game theory, computer science and optimization, aiming to understand their design principles and their overall effects on the health of the markets.
