Announcement and call for papers

Aix-Marseille School of Economics (AMSE) is happy to host the 24th Coalition Theory Network Workshop on Thursday 16th – Friday 17th May 2019 at Aix-Marseille University, Aix-en-Provence, France.

The Coalition Theory Network (CTN) is an association of 9 high-level scientific institutions whose aim is the advancement and diffusion of research in the area of network theory and coalition formation.

The Workshop will be mainly devoted to the theoretical and empirical analysis of networks and groups. This pertains to different aspects of social economics systems, such as the management of international public goods, the formation of industrial cartels and collaborations, the patterns of racial integration in social networks, information transmission and incentives, the structure and properties of informal safety nets.

The keynote speakers of the Workshop will be:

Prof. Asuman Ozdaglar, MIT, USA
