Supply chain disruptions. The Big Hack. Ransom attacks. These issues, familiar to all from the steady stream of stories in the media, have one thing in common. They all have to do with, in one way or another, semiconductor manufacturing. More to the point, these issues point to one critical issue—semiconductors (or computer chips) are […]

“Min_LQG games and collective discrete choice problems” Wednesday, April 19 at 3:00pm NEB 409 Join via Zoom Abstract We introduce a class of finite horizon linear quadratic Gaussian games involving distinct potential finite destination states, interpreted as discrete choices under social pressure. The model provides stylized interpretations of opinion swings in elections, the dynamics of […]
