*Scholarship / Financial aid*: Limited financial support will be available
*Date*: July 10 - 31, 2006
*Deadline*: April 30, 2006
*Open to*: Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and young faculty members
The summer school brings together graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and young faculty members from business schools, economics, mathematics and operations research with leading economists and mathematicians. It exposes students in business administration and economics to mathematical models and methods that they will find useful in their research, and graduate students and young researchers in mathematics and operations research to new mathematical problems arising from economic theory.
The main focus of the summer school is a set of four courses, each taught by world leaders in the corresponding discipline. All courses are accompanied by introductory tutorials and a series of seminar presentations.
1. Topic: Dynamic Contract Theory and Corporate Finance
Lecturer: Jean-Charles Rochet (Professor of Mathematics and Economics, U. Toulouse I)
2. Topic: Equilibrium: Theory and Computation
Lecturers: Kenneth L. Judd (Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace),
R. Tyrrell Rockafellar, (Professor of Mathematics, U. Washington), Roger Wets (Professor of Mathematics, UC, Davis)
3. Topic: Information and Markets
Lecturer: William R. Zame (Professor of Mathematics and Economics, UC, Los Angeles)
4. Topic: The mathematical Structure of Quality Pricing
Lecturer: Ivar Ekeland (Professor of Mathematics and Economics, UBC)
Accommodation for out of town participants will be provided by PIMS. Limited additional financial support will be available for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows upon request.
