BITSS Workshop: Forecasting in the Social Sciences

Led by Stefano DellaVigna (UC Berkeley) and Eva Vivalt (The University of Toronto), the 2023 workshop will bring together leaders from across academic disciplines to present new research findings, share knowledge, and continue charting a path forward for prediction in the social sciences. We are eager to showcase how the Social Science Prediction Platform, which has over 4,500 completed forecasting surveys for over 50 projects, is facilitating the collection and cataloging of forecasts for the broader research community.

The event will feature Anna Dreber (Stockholm School of Economics), Philip Tetlock (University of Pennsylvania), and Barbara Mellers (University of Pennsylvania) as the keynote speakers and we’re looking forward to a great day full of interesting papers and conversations!
