Call for Participation:

The Second Conference on Auctions, Market Mechanisms and their Applications (AMMA 2011)

http://www.ammaconference.org

August 22-23, CUNY Graduate Center (Manhattan), New York City, USA

Early Registration Deadline: July 21

The biennial AMMA conference is a forum for advances in the theory and
practice of auctions and market mechanisms. The goal of the conference
is to bring together researchers from computer science, economics, and
business schools as well as industry, with common interests in issues
that arise in all stages of deploying market mechanisms. In addition to
more traditional academic papers, the conference will focus on
experiences from the real world such as case studies and new applications.

AMMA 2011 features two invited talks by

** Peter Cramton, University of Maryland
"Medicare Auctions: A Case Study of Government Market Design."

** Jeremy A. Smith, SecondMarket, Inc.
"Dutch auction. English auction. Manhattan auction?"

The technical program features 22 technical papers and case studies on
topics such as school choice, markets for housing, energy, and
advertising, prediction markets, and the theory of market design:
