Welcome to submit for Workshop on Incentives in Academia (WINA).
Strategic and incentive problems are ubiquitous in academia. This not only provides a set of applications such as peer review and peer grading but also provides a testing ground for more general Econ-CS theories. This workshop seeks to bring together both researchers working on academic applications where accounting for strategic reasoning is important (both Econ-CS research and those from other fields such as HCI, EdTech, education, TCS, etc) and Econ-CS researchers whose theories might be tested in academic applications.
For example, information elicitation mechanisms can be applied to motivate honest and high-quality reports in grading scenarios. Auction theory can be potentially used for bidding in peer review. The theory of matching markets can be used to understand and improve student admissions, paper bidding, and the faculty job market design.
