Understanding and Modeling Individual Choices in Applied Economics

该奖学金将在澳大利亚需要维持经济发展和规划未来的领域创造一批选择建模理论和方法的研究人员。它将极大地推进几个主要领域的知识：健康保险市场的设计;保险市场逆向选择的测试;人们计划退休的能力（退休金选择）;人们在动态环境中计划和选择的能力;以及在不断发展的技术市场中采用新技术/产品的决定。其结果将是理解和预测选择的新方法，可以显着改善商业和其他组织的实践。

The fellowship will create a critical mass of researchers in choice modeling theory and methods in areas that Australia needs to sustain economic progress and plan for the future. It will significantly advance knowledge in several major areas: design of health insurance markets; tests for adverse selection in insurance markets; ability of people to plan for retirement (superannuation choices); ability of people to plan and choose in dynamic environments; and decisions to adopt new technologies/products in evolving technology markets. The outcome will be new ways to understand and predict choices that can significantly improve practices in business and other organisations.
