Soleto 2023

Behavioral economics integrates economic theory and other related disciplines, including but not limited to psychology, neuroscience, sociology, political science, law, anthropology, biology, and computer science. Behavioral economics is inherently interdisciplinary, with the purpose of this interdisciplinary research being to understand human behavior better. With this, we expect applications to the summer school from graduate students in economics and all other disciplines where data analysis and/or experimental methods are used to understand human behavior.

This interdisciplinarity requires different methodologies to be explored while immersed in the beauty of Soleto's historic center, with 70 students listening and discussing with more than 40 senior scholars, among organizers, keynote speakers, and other speakers.

The Summer School will occur from July 17th at 7 pm (Welcome Reception) until July 22nd at 1 pm. Summer School participants will also be invited to attend the final workshop on the same topics, which will take place from July 22nd at 3 pm until July 23rd at 9 pm (final social dinner). PhD students and post-doctoral researchers who would like to present their current research at the (final) workshop should indicate this in their application to the summer school.

The summer school is meant to:

Introduce Master Students to:

- Experimental and econometric methods by providing them with basic notions of statistical software and packages;

and/or

- The hot topics in behavioral economics are its applications to specific research areas such as finance, development, health, and the environment.

Provide PhD and Post-Doctoral Students with all necessary tools to start or improve experimental and/or econometric analysis targeted to research questions at the frontier of behavioral economics, using an interdisciplinary approach. In particular, students already working on relevant research will have the opportunity to present during the final workshop and receive feedback. Specific time slots will be dedicated to private meetings with the keynote speakers and other junior and senior researchers working in the field.

Post Summer School:

Workshop and Summer School participants (Post-Doc and PhD students) will be offered the opportunity to submit a paper to a Special Issue of the Journal of Behavioral Economics for Policy dedicated to Experimetrics and Behavioral Economics.

The submissions will be peer-reviewed as per JBEP policy.

The deadline for submitting a paper to the Special Issue is December 31st, 2023.

The special issue is expected to be published in June 2024.

The Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE) will fully cover the publication fees of all accepted papers.
