Advancing Methods in Behavioral and Experimental Economics

In recent years, behavioral and experimental economics have faced numerous methodological advances and challenges that are profoundly transforming how research in these fields is conducted. Issues such as replicability, external validity, open science practices, the rise of AI and large language models, the growing popularity of field experiments, the use of megastudies and large-scale representative panels, the prevalence of online experiments, and the adoption of methods coming from other disciplines are all substantially influencing current research. Despite this, debate and research on these methodological advances remain limited, and much work is still needed to fully accommodate them.

The BSE Summer Forum Workshop on Advancing Methods in Behavioral and Experimental Economics will accept high-quality papers on any aspect of the methodology of behavioral and experimental economics, including―but not limited to―the topics mentioned above.
