Richard Bradley of L.S.E presented his paper comparing deliberation and aggregation as ways of dealing with disagreement and producing collective opinion. Robin Hanson of George Mason University presented his recent research on disagreement, in which he has been extending Aumann's theorem to conclude that rational disagreement requires origin disputes.
