DECIDE Directors

 

Fernando Beltrán

 

Dr. Beltrán is exploring a three-way approach to designing resource allocation mechanisms mostly involving network resource allocation in telecommunications. It consists of 1. using game theory models of a proposed solution; 2. simulating the problem with an agent-based computational environment, and, 3. (when applicable) testing the solution with human subjects participating in a decision-making lab environment.   

 

  

Ananish Chaudhuri

Professor Chaudhuri is involved in a wide variety of decision making experiments using a very large number of human participants on an on-going basis. One current project includes an experimental analysis of why businesses tend to lay-off workers rather than cut wages during recessions and what the implications are for the patterns of teaching and learning within organizations.
