Schedule

Each day will be split between morning and afternoon sessions. Morning sessions will typically involve lectures and discussion led by the organizers covering methodology, foundational topics from behavioral economics and psychology, and OM applications.

Afternoon sessions generally will be focused more on small groups to brainstorm and develop research ideas, practicums (e.g., applying ideas to actual research activity), and roundtables (more informal discussions). Discussion will focus on the distinctive aspects and challenges of these topics for a behavioral researcher.
