Center for Operations Research and Econometrics (CORE)
CORE is a research centre associated with the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium. It is an institute for interdisciplinary research, in the complementary fields of quantitative economics, economic theory and game theory, operations research and econometrics. Its aim is the development and implementation of knowledge, at the most advanced level, and the training of young researchers in these fields, in order to ensure continuity in the scientific environment and diffusion of knowledge in the relevant professional circles in both the private and the public sectors.
Apart from an interest in coalition and network theory, the researchers of the CORE CTN branch are very active in closely related research fields such as game theory, industrial organization, general equilibrium theory, mathematical economics, operations research, and social choice theory.
