“The Unreasonable Fairness of Maximum Nash Welfare”
Abstract
The awarded paper studies allocations that maximize the product of participants’ utilities when goods are indivisible. It shows that such allocations meet a strong fairness guarantee, provide an approximation to the maximin-share benchmark, and can be computed at useful scale with the authors’ implementation.

“On Repeated Games with Incomplete Information”
Abstract
The lecture surveys equilibrium results for two-person undiscounted repeated games with one informed player, including joint-plan and Nash equilibria. It connects this analysis to static games with cheap talk, where communication and cooperation shape outcomes, and discusses extensions to imperfect monitoring, multiple informed players, and discounting.
