Title: The Coordination Dilemma For Epidemiological ModelersSpeaker: Ignacio Ojea Quintana (ANU)Abstract: Epidemiological models directly shape policy responses to public health crises. We claim that they also play a less obvious but important role in solving certain coordination problems and social dilemmas that arise during pandemics. This role is both ethically and epistemically valuable. However, it also gives rise to an underappreciated dilemma, as the features that make models good at solving coordination problems are often at odds with the features that make for a good scientific model. We examine and develop this dilemma in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggest extensions to other domains.Attend in person or join via zoom
