(2009-03-17)Human subjects can report many items of a cluttered field a few hundred milliseconds after stimulus presentation. This memory decays rapidly and after a second only 3 or 4 items can be stored in working memory. Here we ... -
The Value of Observing the Buyer Arrival Time in Dynamic Pricing
(2020)We consider a dynamic pricing problem where a firm sells one item to a single buyer in order to maximize expected revenues. The firm commits to a price function over an infinite horizon. The buyer arrives at some random ... -
The wisdom of extremized crowds: Promoting erroneous divergent opinions increases collective accuracy
(Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, 2023)The aggregation of many lay judgements can generate surprisingly accurate estimates. This effect, known as the “wisdom of the crowd”, has been demonstrated in domains such as medical decision-making, factchecking news, ... -
