DESCRIPTION:Prof. Vinayak V. Dixit. Vinayak is the Deputy Director of the
  Research Center for Integrated Transportation Innovation (rCITI) and a Se
 nior Lecturer at the School of Civil Engineering\, UNSW Australia. His key
  area of interest is in studying the risks in transport systems from the p
 oint of view of linking the physical risks from the point of view of traff
 ic dynamics with peoples’ choices in response to these risks\, and how t
 hese interactions impact traffic safety\, emergency management and traffic
  congestion.\nAbstract Transport systems are inherently risky\, ranging fr
 om risk in travel time to risk in crashing. This presentation provides an 
 overview of my current work on the use of Experimental Economics in unders
 tanding behaviour with respect to interactions of risk attitudes and subje
 ctive beliefs on crash propensity\, route choice and information\, and fin
 ally evaluating policies in emergency management. Experimental economics h
 as been used intermittently since the 1960s to conduct controlled experime
 nts to evaluate policies\, but recently has gained significant interest to
  test theories. The presentation will also present trends\, strengths and 
 pitfalls of these methods
