Speaker: Dr. Michael Bailey, Research Scientist Manager, Facebook
Time/Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2020, 3:30 p.m.*
Location: Room 206, Claxton Building, 1122 Volunteer Blvd.
Topic: The economic impact of social networks
Abstract: Social networks play a major role in how we make decisions—from where we live and work to what we buy to what we believe. In this talk I will overview what we've learned about how networks impact our economic decision-making, specifically in the housing market and in the market for new products, through social interactions and belief formation. Our networks are shaped by the world around us and I will overview how history, geography, and social preferences have shaped social networks around the world and how these two concepts, peer influence and friend preferences, shape our society.
*Join us for refreshments at 3 p.m.
Seminar Flyer: TBA
