MMTC/ Data Methods Initiative seminar presented by Jason Burton

Jason is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Digitalization at Copenhagen Business School. His research uses computational and experimental methods to study human behavior in the context of a digital society, as well as agent-based simulations.

In the seminar, Jason will talk about experiments designed to evaluate content-curating algorithms, as used by social media and other digital platforms. For example, he will discuss how modifications of these algorithms affect people's beliefs. Jason will also share his experiences with the pre-registration of experiments, ethical approval, and recruitment of participants.
