Severe uncertainty plagues many crucial decisions in a range of areas, including climate, the economy and health. A wide range of scientific disciplines and professions have studied such uncertainties and decisions in the face of them, or been confronted with them in practice, developing a range of approaches.
The Uncertainty across Disciplines project aims to paint a portrait of the current state of the art across these disciplines and professions. Through a series of interviews of leading experts and actors, it presents the perspectives, results and positions in these fields, as well as their opinions.
Itzhak Gilboa is a Professor of Economics and Decision Sciences at HEC, Paris, and Professor at the Eitan Berglas School of Economics, Tel-Aviv University. He works in decision theory and other fields in economic theory such as game theory and social choice. His main interest is in decision under uncertainty, focusing on the definition of probability, notions of rationality, non-Bayesian decision models, and related issues. He holds the AXA-HEC Chair for Decision Science.
