BRIC 2019
BRIC 2019
The seventh Annual Bounded Rationality in Choice Conference (BRIC 7) takes place at the Department of Economics and Business Economics Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University in Denmark's second largest city - Aarhus - on 9-10 June 2019.
The conference brings together researchers in choice theory, experimental economics and behavioral economics who are interested in how bounds on rationality play out in individual decisions and interactive situations.
A new feature of BRIC 2019 will be that there will be a poster session.
We look forward to seeing you in Aarhus in June 2019.
BRIC 7
BRIC stands for Bounded Rationality in Choice, the name of the first conference that Paola Manzini and Marco Mariotti organised in St Andrews in 2013. It has now turned into an annual meeting, welcoming papers on topics related to bounded rationality in choice. The now usual format has no parallel sessions or invited speakers.
The scientific committee consists (in addition to the local organisers) of the core, enthusiastic supporters of the project since the very beginning: Jose Apesteguia, Miguel Angel Ballester, Andrew Caplin, Paola Manzini, Marco Mariotti , Yusufcan Masatlioglu, Efe Ok, Ariel Rubinstein, and Yuval Salant. A special thanks to Mark Dean and David Dillenberger, who helped with reviewing some submissions.
