USING DEBIASING TECHNIQUES TO IMPROVE FINANCIAL BEHAVIOR [PDF]
Buletin ştiinţific: Universitatea din Piteşti. Seria Ştiinţe Economice, 2021 To overcome the systematic biases and environmental traps identified by behavioral economists, there was a need of finding the so-called debiasing techniques, including techniques focused on the individuals and the environment, and this paper offers ...

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The synthetic control method assumes the existence of a perfect synthetic control, which cannot exist if the outcomes are functions of transitory shocks with nonzero asymptotic variance and may not exist even in expectation for the treated unit. This paper first shows the benefits of estimating synthetic controls for all units.

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.Estimating water resources is important for regional climate impact analysis and risk estimation. The Middle East and Central Asia have largely reached the limit of sustainably usable water across their river basins and ecosystems. Strategies designed to mitigate environmental risks require a reliable estimation of water availability trends.

Variations on anchoring: Sequential anchoring revisited
Judgment and Decision Making, 2019 The anchoring effect, the assimilation of judgment toward a previously considered value, has been shown using various experimental paradigms. We used several variations of the sequential anchoring paradigm, in which a numeric estimate influences a ...

, 2020 Entropy regularization in optimal transport (OT) has been the driver of many recent interests for Wasserstein metrics and barycenters in machine learning. It allows to keep the appealing geometrical properties of the unregularized Wasserstein distance while having a significantly lower complexity thanks to Sinkhorn's algorithm.

Decision Threshold Setting in Binary Classification Problems—A Behavioral Lens
Journal of Operations Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT When binary classification models are wrong, managers face misclassification costs. Although false positive outcomes imply unnecessary mitigation efforts, false negative outcomes imply overlooking the class of interest. Humans calibrate these ai models supporting operational systems by adjusting the decision threshold that translates ...

Critical Thinking Education and Debiasing (AILACT Essay Prize Winner 2013)
Informal Logic, 2014 There are empirical grounds to doubt the effectiveness of a common and intuitive approach to teaching debiasing strategies in critical thinking courses. We summarize some of the grounds before suggesting a broader taxonomy of debiasing strategies.

Backward planning: Effects of planning direction on predictions of task completion time
Judgment and Decision Making, 2016 People frequently underestimate the time needed to complete tasks and we examined a strategy – known as backward planning – that may counteract this optimistic bias.

, 2020 A prominent technique for self-supervised representation learning has been to contrast semantically similar and dissimilar pairs of samples. Without access to labels, dissimilar (negative) points are typically taken to be randomly sampled datapoints, implicitly accepting that these points may, in reality, actually have the same label.
