Behavioural Economics Research Group (BERG)
This research group investigates the behavioural aspects of economic decision-making to enhance both theoretical and applied knowledge and to inform evidence-based policy measures.
About our work
Human behaviour and related policy decisions are often shaped by psychological and social factors that go beyond traditional economic models. Our members specialise in cutting-edge behavioural research across organisational economics, labour economics, health economics, welfare economics, industrial organisation, and related fields.
Our activities
We regularly collaborate with academics, the public sector, and businesses, and employ a range of methods such as formal theory, laboratory experiments, field experiments, surveys, and field data analysis. The group also organises regular events, including annual internal and external workshops.
