BID Workshop
The Behavior, Institutions and Development workshop focuses on economic development and the evolution of institutions underpinning market exchange; the origins, history, and evolving role of a broader set of institutions, such as political systems, cultures, ideologies and religions, and the family, with a focus on their implications for economic resource allocation; beliefs, perception, identity, and emotions; pro-social preferences and moral attitudes, and their evolutionary foundations.
