Sponsored by the Gatto Economic Research & Faculty Development Fund
Cornell offers two complementary workshops at the junction of psychology and economics. The Behavioral Economics Workshop focuses more on the economic side of behavioral research, whereas the BEDR Workshop (participants listed in bold) focuses more on the psychological side. The BEDR Workshop premiered in 1989, with the BE Workshop starting up soon after, making them the longest continuously running behavioral economics seminars in the world. Graduate students interested in behavioral economics research are encouraged to attend both.
Unless otherwise noted, both workshops will meet on Tuesdays at 11:40 – 1:10pm in 141 Sage Hall.
