Jay Simon


Professor of Information Technology and Analytics

Kogod School of Business


American University


Research:

My background is in decision analysis. I’ve worked in many different areas.
Right now the sorts of things I’m focusing on are:

-Formulating objectives for large or complex decision settings

-The behavior of betting market forecasts

-How to quantify people’s preferences and incorporate them into decisions…
…when the decisions affect other people
…when the outcomes are spread across a geographic region
…when the outcomes are spread out over time

Teaching:

I teach primarily analytics courses. At Kogod, I coordinate and teach both
KSB-224: Business Analytics (UG) and ITEC-620: Business Insights Through Analytics (GR). I also developed and teach ITEC-447/647: Sports Analytics.
