Posted: 21 Dec 2012 03:12 AM PST

We use a model of opinion formation to study the consequences of some mechanisms attempting to enforce the right behaviour in a society. We start from a model where the possible choices are not equivalent (such is the case when the agents decide to comply or not with a law) and where an imitation mechanism allow the agents to change their behaviour based on the influence of a group of partners....

Published / Preprint: A Dynamic Network Approach to Breakthrough Innovation

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 03:12 AM PST

This paper outlines a framework for the study of innovation that treats discoveries as additions to evolving networks.

Blog Post: Falkenblog: The High Price of Low Delta Options

Posted: 20 Dec 2012 06:12 PM PST

Antti Ilmanen and Frazzini and Pedersen have papers highlighting the poor returns to low delta options. This highlights the power of prediction markets, in that since Alpert and Raiffa (the working paper is dated 1969) we have know that people over estimate their confidence for 1 and 99% probabilities:  these are more like 10 and 90%, respectively.
