Learning the Right Approach: Sabanci University Professor Teaches Mini-Course at HSE Faculty of Computer Science
From December 5–13, HSE University hosted a mini-course in Decision Making led by Enes Eryarsoy from Sabanci University, Turkey. The course was attended by students of the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Economic Sciences, the Graduate School of Business and other departments of HSE University.
Statistical Physics Can Help Uncover the Impact of Media on Decision Making
Students and researchers from HSE University and the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics have examined the widely known ‘Prisoner’s Dilemma’ game using methods from statistical physics. They used the mean-field concept, a common tool for studying the physics of many-particle systems, to describe human decision-making processes. Researchers suggest that this model may be helpful for understanding systems with many participants. The results of the study are published in the September issue of the Physics Review Research journal.
