: one day workshop on Social Choice Under Risk and Uncertainty

Behavioural Science Group’s Visiting Fellow Dr Eric Danan of CY Cergy Paris is hosting an IAS funded one day workshop:

Monday 9 May 0930 – 1800

WBS lecture theatre 1.301

This workshop will provide the opportunity to discuss policy decisions made in risky or uncertain environments. Participants will engage with the way that social choice theorists seek to guide such decisions by formulating desirable principles and identifying the decision rules that satisfy these principles. Presentations will cover recent advances in the theory of social choice under risk and uncertainty, focusing in particular on the issue of aggregating the preferences of agents with heterogeneous tastes or beliefs.
