Aarhus Workshop on Known and Unknown Unknowns

The theme of the conference is recent developments in modeling decision-making under uncertainty, ambiguity, and unawareness. The focus is on novel approaches to modelling beliefs, preferences and updating in general settings, and applications of these approaches to economics and finance. Talks cover a variety of topics. Some address foundational questions: How can states be constructed from data sets? How can awareness/unawareness be elicited from choices? How do conditional preferences evolve under growing awareness? Other talks address problems relevant for applied economists such as the design of incentive-compatible mechanisms under asymmetric awareness, the revelation principle under unawareness,  the CAPM-model with unawareness, backward-induction reasoning under cognitive bounds etc.

The conference involves no financial transactions: there is no registration fee (though registration will be required for our head count), and, unfortunately, we cannot offer any reimbursement for travel or accommodation expenses.
