WORKSHOP: Behavioral Models of Politics

这个项目通过研讨会、培训和研究推动了政治行为模型的科学研究。政治进程的理论模型是帮助我们构建对权力、冲突、民主和制度的理解的基本工具。模型挑战直觉，澄清解释的逻辑，并指导对跨越政治学传统子领域的不同主题的实证调查：选举、集体行动、战争和冲突、贸易和身份形成，仅举几例。政治学目前的理论建模方法主要是理性选择和博弈论方法，大量借鉴了经济学中严格的数学传统。然而，心理学和经济学的进步表明，人类理性决策的标准方法模型存在局限性。通过将行为洞察力融入理论模型，政治行为模型领域拓宽了政治学家可用的理论方法论。研讨会通过聚集对理解有限理性及其对政治行为的影响有共同兴趣的跨学科学者小组、培训初级学者、促进积极的科学对话、确定新的研究优先事项以及刺激新的研究合作和协同作用来推进这一新领域。这个项目通过研讨会、培训和研究，推动了政治行为模型的科学研究。政治进程的理论模型是帮助构建对权力、冲突、民主和制度的理解的基本工具。研讨会通过聚集对理解有限理性及其对政治行为的影响有共同兴趣的跨学科学者小组、培训初级学者、促进积极的科学对话、确定新的研究优先事项以及刺激新的研究合作和协同作用来推进这一新领域。讲习班促进了跨领域和学科界限的沟通和思想交流。它将导致科学家之间富有成效的合作和协调。研讨会的陈述将作为一系列“模拟对话”的一部分进行组织和组织，这些对话将理论研究和实验研究结合在一起，讨论相同的实质性主题。此外，讲习班还将包括培训讲习班和辅导活动。研讨会的参加者是通过一般号召获得的。此外，PI使用已建立的网络来吸引代表人数不足的群体的成员来模拟政治。

General Summary This project advances the science of behavioral models of politics through a workshop, training, and research. Theoretical models of political processes are essential tools that help structure our understanding of power, conflict, democracy, and institutions. Models challenge intuitions, clarify the logic of explanations, and guide empirical inquiry regarding diverse topics spanning the traditional subfields of political science: elections, collective action, war and conflict, trade, and identity formation, to name a few. Current approaches to theoretical modeling in political science are dominated by rational choice and game theoretic approaches, having borrowed heavily from a rigorous mathematical tradition in economics. Advances in psychology and economics, however, show the limits of the standard approach's model of rational human decision-making. By incorporating behavioral insights into theoretical models, the field of behavioral models of politics broadens the theoretical methodologies available to political scientists. The workshop advances this new field by bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars with a shared interest in understanding bounded rationality and its implications for political behavior, training junior scholars, promoting vigorous scientific dialogue, identifying new research priorities, and stimulating new research collaborations and synergies. Technical Summary This project advances the science of behavioral models of politics through a workshop, training, and research. Theoretical models of political processes are essential tools that help structure the understanding of power, conflict, democracy, and institutions. The workshop advances this new field by bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars with a shared interest in understanding bounded rationality and its implications for political behavior, training junior scholars, promoting vigorous scientific dialogue, identifying new research priorities, and stimulating new research collaborations and synergies. The workshop facilitates the promotion of communication and the exchange of ideas across field and disciplinary boundaries. It will result in productive collaboration between and coordination among scientists. Workshop presentations will be structured and organized as part of a series of "modeling dialogues" that pair theoretical and experimental research that addresses the same substantive topics. Additionally, the workshop will include a training workshop and mentoring activities. Participants to the workshop are obtained through a general call. In addition, PIs use established networks to draw in members of underrepresented groups in modeling politics.
