on “Artificial intelligence, algorithmic pricing, and collusion” ↗I immediately looked past the header section to the body content snd textbook section and say that the textbook was “Algorithmic Game Theory” by Tim Roughgarden, who I recognize from his Coursera classes on algorithms at Stanford. https://www.coursera.org/instructor/~768 After finally looking at the top to see who the instructor was I was…

One area of CS theory that is pretty straightforward to pick up for an economist is algorithmic game theory: (http://www.amazon.com/Algorithmic-Game-Theory-Noam-Nisan/dp/...). There are also some strong connections to reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems (indeed much new research in computational…
