Decision Science News

Dan Goldstein, who runs the Center for Decision Sciences seminar at Columbia (along with Dave Krantz and Elke Weber) has a blog called Decision Science News.

I’ve learned a lot from some of the presentations at the decision science seminar (see here) and even spoke at it myself once (on this topic), and am generally interested in the topic, so I was curious to see the blog. It presents short descriptions of interesting recent work in decision science, especially in marketing. Reading this blog is a good way to get a sense of what the decision researchers are thinking about nowadays.

As a former student of Gigerenzer, Dan is perhaps sympathetic to my views on institutional decision analysis (probabilities represent an agreed-upon hypothesized model, used for convenience, rather than subjective states of knowledge). (See here for more.)
