in Micro Theory and Behavioral Economics

We are delighted to welcome you to the second Berlin PhD Conference in Economics: Parallel Workshop in Micro Theory and Behavioral Economics, jointly organized by PhD students from the Berlin School of Economics, Free University of Berlin, Humboldt University of Berlin and WZB. Twenty selected PhD students will present their works on topics on the frontiers of microeconomic theory and behavioral economics.

The conference is dedicated to fostering discussion and collaboration among early-career researchers in the fields of microeconomic theory and behavioral economics. We aim to provide an environment that promotes insightful discussions, constructive feedback, and networking opportunities with peers and experts in the field.

We invite submissions from current PhD students (at the time of submission). In line with our objective to promote the work of early-career researchers, we only accept submissions which are single-authored or with junior co-authors only (with no co-author having obtained their doctoral degree earlier than October 2021).

Submissions may take the form of papers or extended abstracts, and we welcome submissions of early-stage research. Extended abstracts should be no longer than three pages.
