The account I develop contains a circularity, in that representation is a mathematical relation between the models of a theory and the system as represented by some other model — but I argue that this circularity is not vicious, in any case refers in linguistic accounts of meaning and representation, and is simply a consequence of the fact that we have no unmediated, representation-independent access to the world.</span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>This talk will also be available live streamed on:</span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>Zoom at </span><a href="https://pitt.zoom.us/s/97604497287"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>https://pitt.zoom.us/s/97604497287</span></a></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>YouTube at </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg"><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrRp47ZMXD7NXO3a9Gyh2sg</span></a><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>.</span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p><b><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>LTT: <u>Kevin Zollman</u></span></b></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>Friday, September 13 @ 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm EDT</span></p><p><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>Title: Authorship norms and epistemic public goods</span></b></p><p><b><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>Abstract:</span></b></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>Different academic fields have different norms about how authors are listed in published papers. Some norms are insensitive to the contribution of the authors, listing them in alphabetical order or by seniority. Other norms represent the relative contributions of the authors by listing those who contributed the most first. In this paper, we develop a game theoretic model to explore the conditions under which these norms evolve and the consequences they have for collaboration. We find surprising conclusions about how the distribution of expected contribution affects the evolution of these norms. In addition, we find that all norms result in some inefficiency: they discourage some productive collaboration. Different norms discourage different types of collaboration. We explore what might be the epistemic consequence of these differences.</span></p><p><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif'>Can’t make it in-person?
