Handbook of Behavioural Economics and Smart Decision-Making

http://ift.tt/2mroP93

govlab-og.png

Handbook edited by Morris Altman: “… a unique and original contribution of over thirty chapters on behavioural economics, examining and addressing an important stream of research where the starting assumption is that decision-makers are for the most part relatively smart or rational. This particular approach is in contrast to a theme running through much contemporary work where individuals’ behaviour is deemed irrational, biased, and error-prone, often due to how people are hardwired. In the smart people approach, where errors or biases occur and when social dilemmas arise, more often than not, improving the decision-making environment can repair these problems without hijacking or manipulating the preferences of decision-makers. This book covers a wide-range of themes from micro to macro, including various sub-disciplines within economics such as economic psychology, heuristics, fast and slow-thinking, neuroeconomics, experiments, the capabilities approach, institutional economics, methodology, nudging, ethics, and public policy….(More)”.

Making cities wiser – Crowdsourcing for better decisions

http://ift.tt/2mroP93

govlab-og.png

Maarit Kahila and Anna Broberg at FIG: “The need in urban planning to make knowledge-driven decisions has spurred the creation of new solutions to gather and utilize insight from residents. Participatory planning has often been realized through workshops and during face-to-face encounters, but little of the knowledge gathered in these situations is of use in further urban planning and city development. New technological innovations, such as map-based public participation tools, support gathering information that matters and makes cities wiser. Interaction with citizens not only creates information, but supports also learning and innovation building, and creates trusts.

Technological innovations like Maptionnaire help gather information that makes cities wiser. Maptionnaire is a leading solution for collecting, analyzing and discussing resident insight on a map. With the help of Maptionnaire, various cities have been able to change their modus operandi. Through these learning processes actors from different sectors of the city are brought together to create joint understanding of the possibilities of public participation. Cities have started to value and use resident input as an equally important part of its knowledge base for planning. There is a great potential for more efficient use of participatory tools to make processes smoother and to save money. Future development work is needed to further facilitate knowledge transfer from residents to the use of planners and other city officials.

In our presentation we will present different innovative case studies from Finland and abroad where Maptionnaire has been used to support two-way communication in different phases of planning processes. Based on our findings we will draft a new public participation model that assist the effective gathering of experiential knowledge from inhabitants, provide high quality place-based data for various analysis and informs participants about the stage and goals of the planning process more innovatively….(More)”.

http://ift.tt/1Eq6ejy

Today is the 2017 Financial Analyst Day for AMD. Will likely provide a catalyst for the next few weeks with product road map and releases (could provide insight to future products and timetable for release).

Any more bad news for AMD could spell another significant fall.

AAPL dividend

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Hi i currently have only a single share of apple since its fairly expensive. But this thursday they are paying a dividend of 0.63 per share. I’m not familiar with dividends, so would it be smart to buy alot more shares to get a bigger dividend payout then go back to just a few shares

ELI5 – Bought stock lower price than current, yet showing negative in broker account. [Help].

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Hi guys,

Noob question here, but I’d be grateful for any genuine responses.

I bought the following on March 7th, 2017: VTI 100 shares @ $122.05 BND 98 shares @ $80.60

They’re part of an ETF portfolio that I’m building for long term investing.

The current price of VTI is $123.51 and BND is $81.38. Yet, on my broker page, it shows that I am negative $400 on VTI and negative $280 on BND.

This might be a really noob question, but why is that? Surely if the price per share has risen since I bought them, then I should be in the positive?
