    Synopsis

    Incentives for information procurement are integral to a wide range of applications including peer grading, peer review, prediction markets, crowd-sourcing, or conferring scientific credit. Meanwhile, mechanisms for information procurement have made large theoretical advances in recent years. This workshop will draw together practitioners that have deployed solutions in this space and experts in incentives and mechanisms to talk about existing connections, look for unexploited connections, and develop the next generation of information procurement research that will allow the theory to be further applied in these areas.

    Speakers

    Kevin Leyton-Brown (Univ. of British Columbia), Raul Castro Fernandez (UChicago), Yiling Chen (Harvard Univ.), and Nihar Shah (Carnegie Mellon Univ.).
