AI and Economics

The fields of economic theory and artificial intelligence (AI) share many common interests and notions such as utility, probability, and reasoning about other actors in the environment. This common ground has given rise to a wide body of literature at the interface of economic theory and AI whose scope includes algorithmic aspects of cooperative and noncooperative game theory, mechanism design, and computational social choice, just to name a few. This special issue reports the state of the art in theory, algorithms, and applications in this broad area.
