Short Bio: Professor at Brown University, Professor de Clippel's research covers topics in mechanism design, behavioral economics, bargaining, distributive justice, cooperative games, and repeated games. Trained as a micro theorist, his research has expanded over the years to also incorporate the use of experimental economics to shed light on these problematics. Professor de Clippel currently serves as associate editor for the American Economic Review and Theoretical Economics, and has been the recipient over the years of multiple NSF grants.

Short Bio: Gabrielle Demange is Directeur de recherches at l'Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) and Professor at Paris School of Economics. Her research has concentrated on social choice theory (voting rules, ranking methods) game theory and its applications to market design (coalition formation, networks, multi-item auctions, allocation mechanisms) and financial economics (intergenerational risk sharing, intermediation and central counterparties). Her works on two-sided matching games and multi-item auctions with David Gale were among the first in a now large field.
She is a Fellow of the Econometric Society, a fellow of the Game Theory Society and an Economic Theory Fellow. She is currently a Vice president of the Game Theory Society. She is a member of the Academia Europaea and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a recipient of the CNRS Silver medal.

Title of the keynote presentation: Stopping games with termination rates
Co-author: Catherine Rainer
Abstract: Three-player stopping games in continuous-time need not admit epsilon-equilibria. To understand the reasons for this, we study multiplayer stopping games in continuous time, where stopping is not instantaneous. Rather, each player has a button, and decides at each time instance the intensity in which she presses the button. The instantaneous probability of termination depends on the intensities chosen by all players. We show that in this model, epsilon-equilibria do exist under general conditions, thereby explaining the nonexistence of epsilon-equilibria in standard multiplayer stopping games in continuous time.
