[01/04/24] Seminar on "Human Decisions with Behavioral and Experimental Economics"

The College of Economics, Law and Government would like to respectfully invite lecturers/ researchers to come and share your experiences at the CELG seminar:

• Topic: Human Decisions with Behavioral and Experimental Economics
• Presenter: Prof. Eberhard Feess, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand
• Time: 1:30 PM, Monday 1st April 2024
• Venue: B1-205, UEH Campus B, 279 Nguyen Tri Phuong, District 10

In the last decades, Behavioral and Experimental Economics have become very popular. Behavioral Economics adds deviations from rationality and selfishness to game theoretical models, thereby more and more relying on insights from (social) psychology. Experimental Economics investigates behavior in neatly defined, though somewhat artificial environments.

In the talk, I will first give an overview of important insights from Behavioral and Experimental Economics. This will be done by using canonical games. Participants will first be asked for their decisions, which will then be confroneted with insghts from the literature. In the reaamining time, I will talk a bit about my own research which focuses on the institutional derteminants of cooperation and (un)ethical behavior.
