Most researchers on the border of CS and economics (aka algorithmic game theory) seem to come from a CS background, as do I. While the technical definitions and results of economic theory are quite easily understandable to us, the wider point of view of economists is often harder to grok. Just like autodidacts often miss the traditional context of what they have learned, many of us in the algorithmic game theory community have our own narrative of the game-theoretic and economic notions that we use. While this is necessary to some extent, as a novel scientific narrative is a required basis for a new scientific area, it is clear that we often miss a useful wider point of view that has been developed by a large economics community over a long time. I personally try to understand the economists’ point of view, even on topics where I do not accept it and prefer my CS-ey point of view (examples abound: worst-case analysis, approximation, discrete models, focus on structure, and much more.)
Jeff Ely, an Economics Professor in Northwestern, has recently been publishing on his blog some notes as well as slides from his intermediate micro-economics course. These seem to be quite helpful to me for bridging the “narrative-gap” for two main reasons. First, as Jeff explains, the organization of the course is not the classical one for teaching micro-economics but rather his unique “institution-free approach”. So far he has published notes for the first 3 lectures and I find this approach to blend very well with the CS-ey point of view. (Is this somehow related to the strong cs-econ group in Northwestern?) Second, the lecture slides are presented within his own ars-economic commentary about what he teaches, which I find even more fascinating. These lectures are probably not the right place for a computer scientist to learn micro-economics, as the slides are rather high-level and miss much detail. Being an intermediate course, their mathematical level would also likely be too low for the taste of most CS or Math students. Yet, as a vehicle for getting some feel for the “mind of an economist” they seem excellent.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
relied on the video to make your point. You obviously know what youre talking about, why throw away your
intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to
read?
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home
a little bit, but other than that, this is magnificent blog.
An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.

Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if
blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted
to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and without a doubt, you
hawve hit the nail on the head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking intelligently about.
Now i’m very happy I found this in my hunt for something regarding this.

Definitely imagine that that you said. Your favorite reason seemed to be at
the web the easiest thing to keep in mind of. I say to you,
I definitely get annoyed whilst people consider worries that they plainly
do not recognise about. You managed to hit the nail upon the highest and defined out the whole thing without having side-effects , other folks can take a signal.
Will likely be again to get more. Thanks
