The broad topic of M-BEES is Theory and Experiments. M-BEES centers on whether and how economic experiments can inform economic theory and vice versa.

M-BEPS brings together researchers, policy makers and practitioners interested in how behavioral economics can inform policies in government and business. M-BEPS aims to encourage the discussion of relevant policy topics and the exchange of ideas and experiences among policy makers, international researchers, and practitioners.
