MA defence

Beata Rutkowska defended her MA thesis Podejmowanie decyzji w warunkach niepełnej informacji: studium przypadku. Congratulations! Abstract of the thesis:

Praca przedstawia wyniki badania, zaprojektowanego w celu zajęcia stanowiska w dyskusji dotyczącej sposobu szacowania nieznanego poziomu cechy oraz tego, jak podejmowane są decyzje ekonomiczne, gdy podmiot nie dysponuje pełnymi informacjami na temat przedmiotu decyzji. Zaprezentowano stanowisko sformułowane w ramach klasycznego oraz behawioralnego nurtu ekonomicznego, jak również charakterystykę wpływu heurystyk i błędów poznawczych na proces decyzyjny. Otrzymane wyniki poddano interpretacji w kategoriach częstości oraz kontekstu zastosowania mechanizmów zaangażowanych w ocenę nieznanego poziomu cechy (spójność probabilistyczna, spójność oceny).
