1st London Behavioural and Experimental Economics Workshop
Innovations in Lab and Field Experiments
King’s College London
6th June 2023
The Economics Department of the Business School and the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London will bring together economists interested in theoretical, experimental and empirical methods in the field of behavioural economics based in London for an informal workshop around the theme “Innovations in lab and field experiments” at KCL Bush House campus (click link for directions).
The goal of the meeting is to strengthen the network of behavioural and experimental economics researchers in the London area and get to know current research topics and interests of their research groups. We have invited two presenters per institution (City, LSE, MDX, RHUL, QMUL, UCL). One of them will give a short introduction of their research interests (around 10 minutes). The other speaker is invited to present a recent research paper, which will be followed by comments from a discussant of KCL and a general Q&A.
