The purple balls make their first appearance at Fall Fest this Saturday morning:
“I Like Your Chances: Quantifying Mortality Risks”
David Gerard, Associate Professor of Economics
Briggs Hall 119
Two things are certain in life – death and taxes. As Professor Gerard is a bit tired of talking about taxes, he will discuss work on quantifying mortality risks for use in regulatory policies. He describes these risks in terms of ‘micromorts’ (a one-in-a-million chance of dying) and characterizes mortality risks for demographic groups across the U.S. and Europe.
Given the subject matter, we might change that to Careful so that you don’t Fall Fest.
