[attachment removed by admin; info available at above URL] The summer school brings together graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and young faculty members from business schools, economics, mathematics and operations research with leading economists and mathematicians. It exposes students in business administration and economics to mathematical models and methods that they will find useful in their research, and graduate students and young researchers in mathematics and operations research to new mathematical problems arising from economic theory. The main focus of the summer school is a set of four courses, each taught by world leaders in the corresponding discipline. All courses are accompanied by introductory tutorials and a series of seminar presentations. 1. Topic: Dynamic Contract Theory and Corporate Finance Lecturer: Jean-Charles Rochet (Professor of Mathematics and Economics, U. Toulouse I) 2. Topic: Equilibrium: Theory and Computation Lecturers: Kenneth L. Judd (Senior Fellow, Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace), R. Tyrrell Rockafellar, (Professor of Mathematics, U. Washington), Roger Wets (Professor of Mathematics, UC, Davis) 3. Topic: Information and Markets Lecturer: William R. Zame (Professor of Mathematics and Economics, UC, Los Angeles) 4. Topic: The mathematical Structure of Quality Pricing Lecturer: Ivar Ekeland (Professor of Mathematics and Economics, UBC) Please forward this message to the members in your Economics Department and Business School if possible.
