1. SHORTCOMINGs IN COLLABORATIVE JUDGMENTS

Many important management, consumer, and policy decisions are based on an underlying quantitative judgment, or a prediction about the future:
  • How much will this home sell for?
  • How much should we save for retirement?
  • How large is the market for this new product?
Especially in cases of important decisions, people often turn to others to ask for advice or to make the decision together.  Julia's research addresses the biases that prevent individuals from maximizing the benefits of collaboration, and lead to wasted time, effort, and systematic errors in judgment.
