14th Tinbergen Institute Conference: Bayesian Crowd

Topics

This conference is unique in that it brings together people from different backgrounds (economics, psychology, computer sciences, decision analysis) who work on truth-telling or wisdom of crowds, broadly speaking. It offers two days to mingle and present the latest breakthroughs on Bayesian and behavioral methods to elicit true answers from individuals and crowds:

1. individuals
   1. scoring and incentives
   2. Bayesian truth-serum and related mechanisms
   3. behavioral approaches to promote truth-telling
2. crowds
   1. wisdom of crowds and judgment aggregation
   2. prediction markets
   3. identifying experts
