How do we measure people’s decisions?
研究テーマ
Ambiguity, Flexibility, and Information in Decision-Making
I study how decision makers incorporate preference for knowledge and information into their decision making. Decision theory develops mathematical models that are used both to describe human behavior as well as prescribe how to behave rationally. When a decision affects the information received by a decision maker, the value of this knowledge gain needs to be accounted for in these models. For example, if a rational decision maker has some flexibility in the future in the form of a future choice under uncertainty, then a gain in knowledge can help reduce future uncertainty and thus lead to a better decision later on. However, many decision makers are not rational and are information averse about some information. Ambiguity averse decision makers prefer not to receive information that transforms objectively known probabilities into ambiguous events. For such decision makers, it is possible to identify the degree of ambiguity aversion from their preferences for and against information.
Common research questions I encounter in my work are: how do we identify what knowledge a decision maker is interested in, how do we measure the value of information, and how does the value of flexibility and information interact? Answering these questions may allow us to better predict human behavior in decisions under uncertainty and to optimize our economic institutions with regards to information acquisition.
