Titre de sa présentation : Social learning under ambiguity - an experimental study
Résumé : The social media age has meant that many behaviours spread through contact with others and the extent to which people adopt behaviour, can critically affect whether policymakers are successful when introducing new initiatives. In many situations people can either make decisions based on their own intuitive signals or follow a social signal. Depending on the quality of the signals one might be more informative than the other. This project aims to better understand how people use social information to learn in ambiguous situations, when both the private and the social signal are not perfectly informative. We conduct an experimental study that observes whether people are prone to imitate others in risky and ambiguous environments, and in gain/loss domain settings. We find that individuals do learn from social information. But social learning behaviour is not significantly affected by ambiguity, i.e., the ambiguity treatment has a null result.
Le séminaire a lieu au GAEL à 13h30, en salle 227, 2e étage du BATEG.
