CALL FOR PAPERS. DEADLINE MARCH 3, 2019
On June 24-25, 2019, Erasmus University Rotterdam will host the 14th Annual Tinbergen Institute Conference in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The theme of this year is “Bayesian Crowd”.
Topics
This conference is unique in that it brings together people from different backgrounds (economics, psychology, computer sciences, decision analysis) who work on truth-telling or wisdom of crowds, broadly speaking. It offers two days to mingle and present the latest breakthroughs on Bayesian and behavioral methods to elicit true answers from individuals and crowds:
- scoring and incentives
- Bayesian truth-serum and related mechanisms
- behavioral approaches to promote truth-telling
- crowds
- individuals
- wisdom of crowds and judgment aggregation
- prediction markets
- identifying experts
