The School of Economics and Business of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and the Javeriana Behavioral and Experimental Lab (JaBElab) will host the new edition of the Bogotá Experimental Economics Conference on January 15 and 16, 2026.
This conference aims to strengthen ties within the Latin American Experimental Economics community and the rest of the world. This will be the 11th edition of the conference, continuing a tradition that began with five first editions in Antigua Guatemala before moving to Bogotá, where it has been hosted by the Universidad del Rosario.
We are excited to host this edition and look forward to seeing you in Bogotá!

Kirby Nielsen is the William H. Hurt Scholar and Professor of Economics at the Division of the Humanities and Social Sciences at Caltech.

Sevgi Yuksel is an Associate Professor in the Department of Economics at New York University.
