WORKSHOP: Behavioral Models of Politics

该项目通过研讨会，培训和研究推进政治行为模型的科学。政治过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重要工具。模型挑战直觉，澄清解释的逻辑，并指导关于跨越政治学传统子领域的各种主题的实证调查：选举，集体行动，战争和冲突，贸易和身份形成，仅举几例。目前政治学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显示了标准方法的理性人类决策模型的局限性。通过将行为洞察力纳入理论模型，政治行为模型领域拓宽了政治科学家可用的理论方法。该研讨会通过汇集一个跨学科的学者群体来推动这一新领域的发展，这些学者对理解有限理性及其对政治行为的影响有着共同的兴趣，培训初级学者，促进积极的科学对话，确定新的研究重点，并刺激新的研究合作和协同作用。该项目通过研讨会，培训和研究推进政治行为模型的科学。政治过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重要工具。该研讨会通过汇集一个跨学科的学者群体来推动这一新领域的发展，这些学者对理解有限理性及其对政治行为的影响有着共同的兴趣，培训初级学者，促进积极的科学对话，确定新的研究重点，并刺激新的研究合作和协同作用。该讲习班有助于促进跨领域和学科界限的沟通和思想交流。这将导致科学家之间富有成效的合作和协调。研讨会的演讲将作为一系列“建模对话”的一部分进行组织和组织，这些对话将解决相同实质性主题的理论和实验研究配对。此外，讲习班将包括一个培训讲习班和辅导活动。讲习班的与会者是通过一般电话获得的。此外，PI使用已建立的网络来吸引代表性不足的群体的成员参与政治建模。

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.
