Minicourse "Language and Decisions", February 2-6

[Marcus Pivato]

Dear all,

 

This is a reminder that Evan Piermont (Royal Holloway, University of London) will visit the Centre d'Économie de la Sorbonne the week of February 2 - 6.  During his visit, Evan will give a six-hour minicourse on the topic Language and Decisions.  The course is mainly intended for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, but everyone is welcome.  Here is a brief description:

 

This six-hour mini-course serves as an introduction to the field of syntactic decision theory that combines elements of linguistics, formal logic, and decision theory to examine how linguistic considerations impact decision making. It assumes a familiarity with standard economic models of decision making (e.g., expected utility) and with axiomatizations and mathematical proofs. The course provides a broad overview of the field, its motivations from psychology and experiments, and covers current avenues of research.

 

A course outline is attached to this email.  If you are interested in participating in this course, please register for the course using this form.   Also, please complete this poll to indicate the times that you will be available that week, so that we can optimally schedule the lectures.

 

Please also forward this email to anyone else who you think might be interested.

 

Best wishes,

  Marcus
