Applied Microeconomics
The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.
The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

Title is Rationality in Enlivened Decision Trees
Abstract: Limits to the possibilities an agent can imagine, let alone analyse, typically force consideration of a bounded decision tree whose shortcomings could suddenly become all too obvious at any subsequent time.That bounded tree is therefore subject to an enlivening process leading to revisions whose details, by definition, cannot be modelled even as unforeseen events. Nevertheless, one can model uncertainty about the ultimate retrospective value of each possible decision that must be made within the current tree.
Then it is prescriptively befitting, and perhaps even descriptively fitting, to extend the standard normative criterion of subjective expected utility maximization to this framework.
