Name: Benisch, Michael J.

Research Keywords: expressive commerce, computational game theory, automated trading, mechanism design, machine learning
Affiliation: E-Supply Chain Management Lab
Research:
I am currently interested in studying the issues preventing the technical and theoretical accomplishments of computational game theory and mechanism design from realizing their full potential. This includes studying the benefits of more expressive electronic market mechanisms, simplifying games arising in the real world, and replacing unrealistic assumptions in computational game theory about strict rationality and optimal equilibrium behavior.
