What is DR@W Forum?
DR@W Forum is an interdisciplinary discussion series which focuses on theoretical and empirical research about decision making.
The usual structure of the forum is a 30 - 45 minute introduction of the topic/working paper, with ample additional time for discussion.
The audience prefers discussing work-in-progress topics as opposed to finished papers. We meet on Thursdays between 2:30 and 3:45pm during term time. Contact John Taylor (John.Taylor[at]wbs.ac.uk) if you would like to suggest a speaker for a future event. Notifications of upcoming DR@W Forum events along with other decision research related activities can be obtained by registering with the moderated mailing list - email behaviour_spotlight at newlistserv dot warwick dot ac dot uk to be added to the list.
If you attend DR@W please take some time to fill in our survey It helps us understand who our audience are and how we can widen participation.

Fairness views about the International Distribution of Climate Change Costs (With Johanna Kober)
Thirty years of international climate negotiations have produced shared targets but national contributions towards these targets remain insufficient. This paper measures how citizens believe the costs of climate policy should be allocated across countries, distinguishing between three cost categories: mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage. To elicit fairness views, the study introduces and validates a novel survey module. Preliminary results indicate that the type of climate change cost affects the how people think the costs should be shared. For example, the weight given to current emissions for a fair allocation of mitigation costs is more than double the weight given to these emissions in the allocation of adaptation and loss and damage costs.
