| Description | The doctoral program in Behavioral Economics and Experimental Research (BEER) is financed by the CUSO (Conférence Universitaire de la Suisse Occidentale). The aim of the program is to offer interdisciplinary courses including elements of economics, management, psychology, and the neurosciences. The program is open to all doctoral students in the above-mentioned disciplines.
The winter school will focus on Gender Economics (Nagore Iriberri), Measurement and Elicitation Mechanisms (Jon de Quidt), and Text Analysis (Germain Gauthier). The winter school includes a series of lectures from the three aforementioned external experts. In addition, there will be interactive sessions in which the participants can directly exchange ideas and insights with both the external speakers and the organizers, as well as scientific group work.
Our guest speakers this year will be:
Prof. Jonathan de Quidt (School of Economics and Finance, Queen Mary University of London) His research interests lie in behavioral and development economics, combine experimental work and applied theory, as well as experimental methodology. In his lectures, he will focus on methodological topics such as experimenter demand effects, as well as behavioral theory in individual choice.
Prof. Nagore Iriberri (University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU) Her research focuses on behavioral game theory, experimental economics and gender economics. In her lectures, she will focus on gender topics, in particular gender and negotiation, as well as women in academia.
Prof. Germain Gauthier (Bocconi University) His work is at the intersection of economics and political science, with a focus on digital technologies and society, social media, as well as methodological developments in machine-learning with a focus on text as data.
