Oxford Saïd – ETH Zurich Macro-finance Conference
2 - 3 September
Location: Saïd Business School, University of Oxford
Organised by Hans Gersbach (ETH Risk Center), Oren Sussman, Dimitrios Tsomocos and Xuan Wang (Saïd Business School)
Programme
Conference: Choice under Unawareness: Information, Behaviors and Markets
Online conference, 28-29 October 2021, from 3 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. CET
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated once again that many decisions are made in a state of unawareness. Unawareness arises when decision-makers cannot even conceive of the contingencies that affect the outcomes of their decisions. The conference will review the recent advances in modeling decision-making under unawareness, the applications of these models to financial markets, information economics and risk-taking behavior.
The conference is free of charge, and open to all.

The annual European Safety and Reliability Conference ESREL stems from a European initiative merging several national Conferences into a major yearly conference under the auspices of the European Safety and Reliability Association (ESRA).
The 25th edition of the conference, ESREL 2015, will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of scientific works covering theories and methods in the field of risk, safety and reliability, and their application to a wide range of industrial, civil and social sectors and problem areas. ESREL 2015 will also be an opportunity for researchers and practitioners, academics and engineers to meet, exchange ideas and gain insights from each other.
