International Laboratory of Game Theory and Decision Making  invites you to participate in a research seminar.
On July, 4, Arseniy Samsonov (PhD student at Department of Political Science, UCLA) will give a talk on Collective Choice and the Fragmentation of Views.

Date & Time: July, 4 (Thursday), 16.50 
Place: 3A Kantemirovskaya st., room 339

Abstract:

People tend to get political information from the media that shares their ideology. Does this lead to worse decisions than the case in which every- one uses all the media sources? To answer this question, I build a game-theoretic model that involves signaling and collective choice. The model shows that the latter situation is only better if people have close political preferences and strongly want to coordinate with each other; otherwise, the former scenario is better.
