GSC 1019: Graduate School of Decision Sciences

决策是社会科学的基石。驱动人类行为的过程是基本的，不仅对于个人选择和个人福祉，而且对于我们对人类互动的理解，从而对于整个社会的组织来说，都是最重要的。社会科学学科，尤其是经济学、政治学、心理学和社会学，都是基于对人类行为的截然不同且往往相互矛盾的假设。事实上，社会科学建模方法中的行为假设与实验研究的结果之间经常存在差异。与此同时，许多重要的社会问题，如教育、歧视、移徙或不平等，在几个学科中分别进行了分析。因此，要全面理解决策及其对经济和政治结果的影响，多学科研究方法是必不可少的。决策科学研究生院为关心决策及其在重大社会科学问题上的应用的博士生提供了一个理想的培训和研究环境。它专注于经济学、政治学和心理学，但也包括来自互补学科计算机科学、社会学和统计学的研究人员。研究生院专注于四个跨学科研究领域，它们之间存在着几个交叉联系：(1)行为决策，(2)跨期选择与市场，(3)政治决策与制度，(4)信息处理和统计分析。广泛的课程和研讨会，以及开放和交流的学术环境，为指导博士生走向卓越的科学和国际知名度提供了理想的条件。参与学科的硕士课程可以通过研究生院快速通道快速进入研究生院。博士生受益于我们与网络合作伙伴的联系和有针对性的职业准备。

Decision making is the cornerstone of the social sciences. The processes that drive human behaviour are fundamental, not only for individual choices and personal well-being, but they are of foremost importance for our understanding of human interactions and, hence, for the organisation of society as a whole. The social science disciplines, notably economics, political science, psychology and sociology, are all based on distinct and often conflicting assumptions about human behaviour. In fact, there are frequent discrepancies between the behavioural assumptions in social science modelling approaches and the findings of experimental studies. At the same time, many of the important social issues, such as education, discrimination, migration or inequality, are analysed in several disciplines separately. For a comprehensive understanding of decision making and its consequences for economic and political outcomes, a multidisciplinary research approach is, therefore, essential. The Graduate School of Decision Sciences offers an ideal training and research environment for doctoral students concerned with questions about decision making and its application to important social science problems. It focusses on economics, political science and psychology, but also includes researchers from the complementary disciplines computer science, sociology and statistics. The Graduate School concentrates on four interdisciplinary research areas, between which several cross-connections exist: (1) behavioural decision making, (2) intertemporal choice and markets, (3) political decisions and institutions, (4) information processing and statistical analysis. A broad set of courses and seminars, as well as an open and communicative academic environment, provide ideal conditions to guide doctoral students to scientific excellence and international visibility. The Masters programmes of the participating disciplines enable fast entry to the Graduate School through a Graduate School Fast Track. Doctoral students benefit from our connections to network partners and from targeted career preparation.
