New Perspectives on Substitutes

Paris, June 2-3, 2023

Organizers: Alfred Galichon (New York University and Sciences Po) and Larry Samuelson (Yale University)

Substitutability has found itself at the core of modern economic modeling for two reasons.  First, it arises naturally in classes of models such as one-to-one matching, discrete choice, hedonic models, and many others.  Second, it leads to successful numerical methods, such as the greedy algorithm in the discrete case, and the Jacobi algorithm related ones in the continuous case.  Leading experts in the field will gather to make a link between discrete and continuous models and to explore recent theoretical developments and economic applications.
