“Challenging Expertise: When Specialization Meets Democracy” by Dr. Jamie Watson

Conference/Seminar

Expertise is a problem for democracy. Democratic processes give every view equal weight, but experts tell us that their views are better than others. Democratic processes presume individuals are the best judge of their own interests, but experts tell us that we often act against our own interests. Can we resolve this tension and save both democracy and expertise? I will explain three ways that philosophers and political theorists suggest we should understand the relationship between expert and non-expert citizens. Then I will describe some features of expertise that may point to a new solution to problem of expertise for democracy.

Applied Mathematics Seminar: A Gentle Introduction to Computational Statistical Catallactics

Conference/Seminar

Speaker: Tyler J. Brough, Jon M. Huntsman School of Business

ZOOM ID: 945 1753 3441 PWD: USUAMS

Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce you to the catallactic point of view of the Nobel Prize winners F.A. Hayek and James Buchanan. I will further discuss directions that I am now taking in my research agenda to deliver on Buchanan's challenge to create a sophisticated catallactics within economics. I will discuss how we can develop tools from the Agent-Based Computational Economics (ACE) tradition that are appropriate for this purpose. We will confront the critique of ACE models put forth by Steven Durlauf and offer ways to address this critique. I will discuss my current research into the options market-making function of derivatives markets as an application of these methods.
