The most successful and innovative organizations and institutions in the world have all one thing in common: a dedicated team of economists working closely with data scientists to understand the economics behind their businesses and provide tools for evidence-based decision-making. Such innovative decisions are informed by rigorous randomized controlled trials (RCT) - or field experiments - combined with the analysis of existing data.
Despite a vibrant interest, most public policymakers, NGOs, and firms do not have access to these cutting-edge methods. This is partly because of lack of knowledge about these valuable scientific methods, partly because of lack of in-house skills.
The Institute for Behavioral Economics closes this gap by connecting you with a network of world class economists interested in generating and publishing scientific insights about the functioning of our societies and markets. Our partnerships are a win-win: evidence- based insights for practitioners and policymakers, and publications in leading academic journals for the economists involved.
As a participating member, you will also receive regular digests of cutting-edge academic research, conveying applicable insights in a non-academic language.
