Michele Modugno (Federal Reserve Bank) Invited by Prof. Leonardo Iania will give a presentation on : Decoding Equity Market Reactions to Macroeconomic News Abstract :  We show that the reaction of the equity market to macroeconomic news is rationalized by their propagation into the real economy.

  Hugo Gilbert (Université Paris Dauphine). Invited by Daniele Catanzaro will give a presentation on : On the Computation of Strategyproof and Fair Picking Sequences Abstract :  When allocating indivisible items to agents, it is known that the only strategyproof mechanisms that satisfy a set of rather mild conditions are constrained serial dictatorships (also known as non-int

  Paul Belleflamme (CORE) will give a presentation on : Competition for Prominence Abstract :  We examine prominence allocation in digital marketplaces, analyzing how default retailer selection affects competition and consumer welfare. We investigate the impact of different fee structures (unit vs.

  Francesco Pisanu (CORE) will give a presentation on : Hard problems on box-totally dual integral polyhedra Abstract :  A rational linear system is Totally Dual Integral (TDI) if for every integer linear function for which the optimum is finite the associated dual problem has an integer optimal solution.

  Federico Michelotto (University of Bologna) Invited by Daniele Catanzaro will give a presentation on : A parallel metaheuristic framework for the Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem Abstract :  The Capacitated Vehicle Routing Problem (CVRP) is one of the most studied combinatorial optimization problems which can be described as follows.

  Antoine Germain (CORE) will give a presentation on : Job Market Talk​​​​​​​     Antoine Germain    

  Dimitri Watel (SAMOVAR). Invited by Daniele Catanzaro will give a presentation on : Optimization of electrical network configuration : complexity and approximability Abstract :  In an electric network, the electric flow is not freely chosen by the operator. It results from the power demands made by consumers and the network's topology.

  Luca Neri (CORE) will give a presentation on : Uncovering attention heterogeneity Abstract :  Individuals vary in their attention to news. Building on theories of imperfect information, we propose a novel method to uncover the distribution of attention in surveys of consumers and professional forecasters.

  Quentin Lété (CORE) will give a presentation on : Forward electricity market with nonconvexities Abstract :  Thermal generators must decide whether to produce electricity well in advance, as starting up or shutting down operations require lead time.

  Samuel Fiorini (ULB) Invited by Daniele Catanzaro will give a presentation on : Integer programs with nearly totally unimodular matrices: the cographic case Abstract :  It is a notorious open question whether integer programs (IPs), with an integer coefficient matrix M whose subdeterminants are all bounded by a constant Δ in absolute value, can be solved in polynomial time.
