New Scientist just published a nice story about our IJCAI’17 paper with the catchy title “Why You Should Charge Your Friends for Borrowing Your Stuff” (short answer: because in a game where non-rivalrous goods are bought and shared on a network, equilibria are more efficient, in theory and experiments, when access costs are imposed).
Here are some other random topics I’ve weighed in on recently (not covered by other news):
* Aziz and Mackenzie’s breakthrough result on bounded envy-free cake cutting, in the Sydney Morning Herald and Quanta Magazine.
* AI and online dating, in the Boston Globe.
