TIME: 1:30-2:20 pm, November 27, 2007 PLACE: CSE 503 SPEAKER: Kamal Jain Microsoft Research TITLE: Atomic Economics ABSTRACT: A new kind of economics is emerging on the internet, which I termed Atomic Economics. Just like relevant rules of Physics change with scale, it is likely that rules of Economics may also change. These rules should not only guide businesses but should also guide government policies. I do not have full clarity on the subject. Instead I will present as many examples of this new economics as time permits. I believe social optimum and the cost of economic decision making may play a critical role.
