The 26th ACM Conference on Economics and Computation (EC’25) will host “Highlights beyond EC” sessions, highlighting some of the best work in economics and computation that appears in conferences and journals other than EC, or mature working papers. These sessions will be held in person during the EC conference. The intention of this session is to expose EC attendees to related work just beyond the boundary of their current awareness. We seek nominations for papers in Economics and Computation that have made breakthrough advances, opened up new horizons for research, made interesting connections between different scientific areas, or had significant impact on practice. Examples of relevant conferences and journals include STOC/FOCS/SODA/ITCS, AAAI/IJCAI/AAMAS, NeurIPS/ICML/COLT, WWW/KDD, AER/Econometrica/JPE/QJE/RESTUD/TE/AEJ Micro/JET/GEB, and Math of OR/Management Science/Operations Research.
Who can nominate? This call is open to everyone (self-nominations are also allowed), but we particularly encourage members of PCs or editorial boards in various venues to submit nominations.
Deadline: April 24, 2025.
Nomination format: Nominations should be emailed to highlightsbeyondec2025@gmail.
