CIBS Conference 2019: Social Interaction in Epistemology and in Economics
Center for Information and Bubble Studies are hosting a conference on "Social Interaction in Epistemology and in Economics" on May 29-31, 2019. The conference is thought as a meeting of the minds arrangement between the Center for Information and Bubble Studies and the French/German research project Collected Attitude Formation (ColAForm). The two research environments share an interest in the social aspects of information dynamics. Topics touched at the conference will include higher-order knowledge and beliefs in groups, decision making in groups (incl. e.g. norms, herding and bubbles), social influence, voting and group deliberation, aggregation of information in groups, and social influence, with both conceptual, formal and empirically based talks.
Keynote speakers include:
- Professor Pierpaolo Battigalli, University of Boconi
- Professor Åsa Wikforss, University of Stockholm
- Professor Richard Bradley, London School of Economics and Political Science
