SUMMARY:Philip Ramirez - "Popularity\, Beauty and Mispricing in Tennis Betting Markets" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nBehavioral biases\, such as the favorite-longshot bias\, can lead to market inefficiencies manifesting as systematic mispricing in betting markets. Using bookmaker odds for tennis matches\, as well as match results and player rankings – ability markers for performance – we attempt to uncover behavioral biases that contribute to mispricing in tennis betting markets\, i.e. beauty and popularity bias. We introduce a deep learning facial recognition model to provide subjective beauty scores for hundreds of the top female tennis players in the Women’s Tennis Association. With popularity measured with daily Wikipedia article views\, preliminary results include significant popularity bias and “beauty” bias that could explain some mispricing.

SUMMARY:Andrew Clark - "Complex Systems Modeling of Community Currencies" - PhD Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nWe present a complex dynamical systems subpopulation model for the construction and validation of Grassroots Economics Foundation’s Community Inclusion Currency. In our paper we introduce the modern application of community currencies\, frame our model economically\, and describe a formalized topological model of a community currency implementation. We then describe the simulation\, its results\, and prescribe next steps in applying this model to operational decision making.
