EC 2020 : ACM Conference on Electronic Commerce

TL;DR for Seasoned Authors

• Papers submitted to EC’20 must be submitted to one of four tracks. However, in contrast to EC’19, the tracks emphasize different types of contributions, and are orthogonal to content areas.
• EC’20 is continuing and expanding the forward-to-journal option that was piloted by EC’19; new partner journals include Artificial Intelligence, Marketing Science, Naval Research Logistics, RAND Journal of Economics, and the Review of Economic Studies.
• The new feature-at-INFORMS option allows authors to have their accepted EC submissions automatically considered for presentation at the INFORMS Annual Meeting.
• Authors of papers that contain empirical results are strongly encouraged to submit their code and data as supplementary material.

Background

Since 1999 the ACM Special Interest Group on Economics and Computation (SIGecom) has sponsored the leading scientific conference on advances in theory, empirics, and applications at the interface of economics and computation. The 21st ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (EC’20) will feature invited speakers, a highlight of papers from other conferences and journals, a technical program of submitted paper presentations and posters, workshops, and tutorials. EC’20 will be co-located with the 6th World Congress of the Game Theory Society (GAMES), from July 13 through July 17, 2020.

We solicit paper submissions for presentation in the technical program. The deadline for submissions is February 12, 2020 at 3pm EST.

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Design of economic mechanisms: algorithmic mechanism design; market design; matching; auctions; revenue maximization; pricing; fair division; computational social choice; privacy and ethics.
• Game theory: equilibrium computation; price of anarchy; learning in games.
• Information elicitation and generation: prediction markets; recommender, reputation and trust systems; social learning; data markets.
• Behavioral models: behavioral game theory and bounded rationality; decision theory; computational social science; agent-based modeling.
