The LSE Behavioural Economics seminar series is a cross-departmental initiative, led by Adam Oliver, Tim Besley and Julian Le Grand, among others. The group aims to hold seminars relating to behavioural economics theory and/or practice, once a month during term times. Each seminar lasts one hour, consisting of a thirty minute presentation and thirty minutes for questions and discussion, followed by a visit to the George IV pub, for those interested. The seminars are held on Wednesdays, from 4-5pm.
If you would like to be placed on the circulation list to be informed about future seminars, please write to Adam Oliver at a.j.oliver@lse.ac.uk|
