Conference: Behavioral Analysis Applied to Economics and to Law

Organisers: Henrik Lando, CBS and Alan Miller, University of Haifa.

The aim of the conference, sponsored by the Danish Council for Independent Research (FSE), is to bring together Danish and Israeli researchers in the area of behavioral theory applied to economics and to law. The participants will present and discuss aspects of their recent work within areas of research that may at first sight seem unrelated, but which share methodological and substantive content.

We also hope, of course, that the conference will establish and strengthen ties
between the Danish and the Israeli research community.

Participation is free for all but enrollment is mandatory, to Trine Buch:tb.jur@cbs.dk

Lunch and conference dinner is by invitation only.
