The School of Economics and Business of the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana and the Javeriana Behavioral and Experimental Lab (JaBElab) are pleased to invite submissions for the 2027 Bogotá Experimental Economics Conference, taking place on January 14–15, 2027. This continues a tradition established through five editions in Antigua, Guatemala, later hosted in Bogotá by the Universidad del Rosario and now by Pontificia Universidad Javeriana.
This event aims to strengthen ties within the Latin American experimental economics community and foster connections worldwide. It features a single-track program, and our social events are designed to be fun and to encourage interaction among participants.
We are excited to host this edition and look forward to seeing you in Bogotá!
