SUMMARY:Film Screening:T.REX
DESCRIPTION:With stunning CGI visuals and the latest research from leading paleontologists\, the film offers audiences a fresh perspective on the GOAT (Greatest Of All Tyrants): Tyrannosaurus rex. Anchored by the true story of the young fossil hunters who made the discovery of a lifetime when they spotted a large fossilized leg bone on a walk on public lands in North Dakota\, T. REX intercuts the remarkable fossil dig\, with cutting edge computer graphics that bring the iconic T. rex to life—from hatchling to hulking adult. Narrated by Jurassic Park actor Sam Neill\, T. REX explores the newest science that has helped reinvent our understanding of the iconic predator.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Confidence\, Inattention and First-Moment Effects of Information (joint with Ben Golub\, Northwestern University)
DESCRIPTION:We study canonical coordination models – with linear best responses to an uncertain state and to others' average action - in which\, under a common prior\, information has only second-moment effects. With heterogeneous priors and asymmetric information\, expected behavior itself depends on the information structure\, and we characterize how. As coordination strengthens\, behavior converges to a focal mean of groups' prior means\, weighted by size and resoluteness\, the share of the prior retained in the posterior: the consensus overweights confident and inattentive groups. In a team production problem inducing these best responses\, welfare depends primarily on the focal mean\, which agents unanimously prefer to increase: everyone would prefer that more optimistic agents be less precisely informed\, and so more resolute. When signals are noisy readings of a public announcement\, varying the announcement's clarity reallocates influence over the focal mean.  When coordination is mediated by a network\, network positions and resoluteness effects interact in a way that is qualitatively richer than in a homogeneous population.
