Kenneth Arrow played a leading role in many fields including operations research and economics. His work spanned diverse areas including the theory of individual and group decision making, the economics of information, healthcare, the environment, and military operations research. This special issue of Operations Research will focus on quantitative models of individual and group decision making related to Ken Arrow’s areas of work in the field of operations research including but not limited to:
- Mathematical models of preference, value, and utility
- Group decision making and negotiations
- Game theory, auctions, voting theory, general equilibrium theory, and mechanism design
- Decision making in healthcare systems
- Decision making in climate change and the environment
- Decision models in computational economics and finance
- Simulation methods for individual and group decisions
We invite high-quality original submissions based on rigorous mathematical modeling as well as empirical and simulation studies that contribute to the understanding and regulation of individual and group decisions in a variety of areas.
