2022 ECORES Summer School – Social behavior and public policy

March 24 2022

From May 30 to June 1, KULeuven hosts the 2022 ECORES Summer School “Social behavior and public policy” in Leuven. Deadline for full paper submission is March 1, 2022.

There is a lively debate in the economics profession about when and to what extent insights and assumptions from behavioral economics should be incorporated into economic models. In this summer school, we want to address the question: What can we learn from behavioral economics about public policy? Or more specifically, how can insights from behavioral economics be used to improve game theoretical models, empirical predictions and policy decisions? Our discussions will be grouped along three topics that will be addressed also in three keynote lectures from distinguished scholars.
