Hi All, Further to my email last month here is the full details (below) about Charles Manski's programme of lectures he will be giving in Glasgow next week. I strongly urge anyone interested in decision making under uncertainty to attend. I would also like to encourage PhD students in particular to attend. Best, Hector ________________________________ From: Dimitris Christelis <Dimitris.Christelis(a)glasgow.ac.uk> Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2020 3:32:08 PM To: Dimitris Christelis <Dimitris.Christelis(a)glasgow.ac.uk> Subject: Prof. Manski's lectures and talk at the University of Glasgow Dear all, First, my apologies for cross-posting. I am writing to let you know that Professor Charles Manski (Northwestern University) is going to give three lectures on Monday March 9, Thursday March 12 and Friday March 13 at the University of Glasgow on the topic of patient care under uncertainty, based on his recent book under the same name (https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691194738/patient-care-unde…). While he will lecture on optimal decision-making in the context of medical treatment choice under uncertainty, the methodological issues he will discuss are also relevant for decision-making under uncertainty in disciplines as diverse as economics, finance, management, law, education, and political science. More information on the lectures, including the lecture slides, suggested readings and on how to register for free can be found at the link https://www.gla.ac.uk/schools/business/events/headline_712187_en.html . Prof. Manski will also give at the University of Glasgow the Adam Smith Distinguished Speaker Series talk on Tuesday, March 10 at 18.30.
