On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
We report on an experiment that shows that subjects prefer a gradual resolution of uncertainty when information about winning yields decisive bad news but inconclusive good news. This behavior is difficult to reconcile with standard theories of choice, including Kreps-Porteus preferences. We propose a new theory, Peak-Trough-Utility (Gul, Natenzon and Pesendorfer (2019), to capture the observed behavior.
It will also talk about the connected paper : www.princeton.edu/~pesendor/rel.pdf
