Hi guys,
I've been in this website a lot, but this is my first post. Right now, I'm very interested in doing a PhD in Algorithmic Game Theory, especially which can be applied to Economics problems. I did several research and found an interesting fundamental book for this field, Algorithmic Game Theory, written by 4 professors : 3 is in the US. These are described as follows.
- Tim Roughgarden : Stanford University
- Eva Tardos : Cornell University
- Vijay Vazirani : Georgia Institute of Technology
Now my problem is since I wanted to apply them in economics problem, I should find a university where it has great faculty both in CS and Economics. I have considered 3 programs from these universities
- Computational and Mathematical Engineering : Stanford University
(I have looked in a CS curriculum and it's kinda strict to the CS courses, so I'm looking in this one instead. Also, it has great economics faculties)
- Computer Science : Cornell University
(This one is not as strict as one in Stanford)
- Algorithms, Combinatorics, and Optimization : Georgia Institute of Technology
(I found this one the most interesting, both in subjects and professor, but it's Economics was not well considered by outsiders)
I would like to ask for opinions from you guys about which one I should considered the most in order to achieve my goal. My goal resides in both academia and industry, but more in academia. I plan to be both a teacher and a consultant for government sectors. Any feedback and comment will be very grateful!!!
Best Regards,
Donn
