Behavioral Mechanism Design Workshop
Friday, 22 November 2024
UNSW Business School
Workshop on Behavioral Mechanism Design, financed by the ARC through a Discovery grant on Wicked Defaults (and how to overcome them)
There are four sessions of 90 minutes each with two speakers each. A typical talk should be about 30 minutes, with about 15 minutes left for discussion and/or questions. Questions during the presentation are ok but will cut into discussion time.
