Goodbye, Ivory Tower. Hello, Silicon Valley Candy Store

  A new course this fall at Yale, called Designing the Digital Economy, seeks to blend economics and computer science in the way digital economists do at tech companies.
--
The course is a pilot for curriculum change and perhaps a joint degree program focused on digital markets and their design. Dirk Bergemann, chairman of the Yale economics department, explained that economics was concerned with efficiency, prices and incentives, while computer science focused on algorithms and complexity.
“In digital marketplaces, you are trying to address both sets of problems,” he said.
