[Behsci] seminar next week: Carl Singleton 4b96, Tuesday 31 2-3pm

Hi all, We are delighted that Carl Singleton, who will be joining the economics division in January, is visiting campus next week. Carl will present a paper that is of particular interest to the behavioural science group - 2-3pm in room 4b96, Tuesday 31 2-3pm. The title of his paper is "Gambling on Momentum in Contests" and it is about a behavioural bias in forecasting. It uses sports betting to demonstrate an illusion of momentum.
