Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Digital platforms, climate negotiations, and algorithmic decision-making are reshaping the strategic landscape that microeconomists and game theorists study. This Special Issue, titled “Recent Advances in Microeconomics and Game Theory”, invites cutting-edge contributions that push the analytical frontier while remaining grounded in real-world relevance. We welcome theoretical, empirical, and computational papers that illuminate how strategic interaction, information frictions, and institutional design shape outcomes in markets, networks, and social dilemmas.
Promising topics include, but are not limited to, algorithmic game theory, network formation, behavioral and experimental economics, dynamic games under uncertainty, mechanism and market design for digital platforms, bargaining and matching in labor and housing markets, evolutionary and ecological games, climate and sustainability games, and applications of artificial intelligence to equilibrium computation. Interdisciplinary submissions that connect game theory to data science, complex systems analysis, or policy evaluation are especially encouraged.
Submissions will undergo rigorous peer review and, once accepted, will be published promptly with open access. By gathering diverse perspectives, we aim to chart a coherent research agenda that addresses both foundational questions and pressing societal challenges.
We look forward to your innovative contributions and a stimulating exchange of ideas within the Games community in this landmark forthcoming Special Issue.
Yours sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Arnaud Z. Dragicevic
Guest Editor
