But rest assured…others are studying this topic very closely.

Press play to learn:

  • How to distinguish between and understand the deep drivers vs. random factors of decision-making
  • How to bridge the disconnect between perceptual and mathematical models of probability in product purchase decisions
  • Whether and how to use large amounts of unstructured data in decision-making processes

Amit Gandhi is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania and applied economist at Microsoft, where he specializes in industrial organization and econometrics.

He explains the most common deep drivers of decision-making and their impact on behavioral outcomes, but draws special attention to the ‘random’ factors that impact decisions, but have no real connection to deep drivers like cost and utility. “Do you want to try to design choice architectures that make those things go away, or do you recognize them as part of the human condition and build your product strategy in such a way as to accommodate them?” asks Gandhi. Most of his current research is about answering this question.
