 Computer Laboratory - Economics and Law
Economic arguments are starting to appear in a surprising number of areas of computer science.
Economics deals with mechanisms whereby global equilibria emerge from the behaviour of large numbers of agents who optimise their utility locally.
Useful though economic arguments and explanations may be, however, there are many reasons why market mechanisms may fail, or yield an equilibrium that is far from the social optimum.

The flow of ideas between computer science and economics is traveling in both directions, as some economists have begun to apply the insights and methods of computer science to new and old problems.
The computer scientist’s interest in economics has been accompanied by an explosion of research on algorithmic issues in economic modeling, due in large part to the fact that the economic models being entertained in computer science are often of extraordinarily large dimension.
This is a demonstration of a common phenomenon in computer science: the empirical effectiveness of a heuristic on a specific instance of a problem that may be computationally difficult in general.

 CS 595: The Economics of Computer Systems, Networks, and Applications
Economics is a key discipline that affects many aspects of Computer Science research.
However, like security, most Computer Scientists assume that the economic and incentive mechanisms for computer systems, networks, and applications will be developed by others and can be added after the "real" work is done.
The focus of this seminar is to dispel this myth by (1) investigating in what areas economics and incentive systems can have an impact on Computer Science research, and (2) surveying work that already falls into this category.
