Special Issue: Optimization Theory with Applications to Economics
Editor of the Special Issue: Professor Joydeep Dutta, Department of Economic Sciences, IIT Kanpur


Optimization theory is central to economic theory. Keeping this in mind a special issue is planned for June 2018 showcasing the interaction of optimization with economics. This issue seeks to publish theoretical as well as applied papers on the said topic. Pure theoretical papers in optimization theory are welcome if they also have an interface with economic theory. Papers highlighting the interaction of optimization with games, with microeconomic theory, with bargaining theory and the interaction of optimal control with growth theory and application of convexity and optimization in the study of inequality and poverty will be highly desired for this special issue.

The papers submitted should either represent original research or survey of some important ideas but from a fresh perspective. The papers should not be published or under review elsewhere.
