SIGecom (ACM Special Interest Group on Economics and Computation)

SIGecom is a professional group within the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) focused on the intersection of economics and computer science. It brings together researchers and practitioners studying how economic principles—like markets, auctions, and decision-making—can be modeled, analyzed, and improved using computational methods. The group supports conferences, publications, and networking opportunities to advance understanding of how algorithms and economic systems influence each other, with applications from online marketplaces to resource allocation. Essentially, SIGecom explores how technology impacts economic behavior and vice versa, fostering innovation at this interdisciplinary frontier.
