DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Tim Roughgarden\nhosted by Dan Alistarh\nAbstract: Ove
 r the last twenty years\, computer science has relied on concepts borrowed
  from game theory and economics to reason about applications ranging from 
 internet routing to real-time auctions for online advertising. More recent
 ly\, ideas have increasingly flowed in the opposite direction\, with conce
 pts and techniques from computer science beginning to influence economic t
 heory and practice.In this lecture\, Tim Roughgarden will illustrate this 
 point with a detailed case study of the 2016-2017 Federal Communications C
 ommission incentive auction for repurposing wireless spectrum. Computer sc
 ience techniques\, ranging from algorithms for NP-hard problems to nondete
 rministic communication complexity\, have played a critical role both in t
 he design of the reverse auction (with the government procuring existing l
 icenses from television broadcasters) and in the analysis of the forward a
 uction (when the procured licenses sell to the highest bidder).
