Economic Psychology Seminars

Organised by the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology (IAREP).


The Economic Psychology Seminars are organised by IAREP and take place virtually once a month usually on a Monday on Zoom.
In the Economic Psychology Seminars, leading experts present their research on topics of interest to the economic psychology community.
You can register for each seminar separately using the links below. At the bottom of this page, you can also sign up to receive email reminders about the seminars. Each seminar lasts for one hour.
The seminar organisers are Carlos Alós-Ferrer and Leonhard Lades.

About Economic Psychology:
Economic psychology studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie economic behaviour. It aims to better understand decisions, behaviour, preferences, judgements, as well as the consequences of these concepts for economics, policy, and society. 
While economic psychology as a discipline developed as a branch of psychology, today it overlaps with behavioral economics, judgement and decision making, neuroeconomics, consumer psychology, voter psychology, behavioural game theory, and behavioural science more generally. 
IAREP is the natural meeting point for all those interested in the areas where psychology and economics intersect. For more information on IAREP, please visit https://iarep.org/
