Ventspils University of Applied Sciences Represented at International Conferences in the Field of Behavioural Economics
In June of this year, Līga Pūce, a doctoral student in the "Economics and Business" doctoral program at Ventspils University of Applied Sciences (VUAS), participated in two high-level scientific conferences in the field of behavioral economics:
- At the Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE) conference in Trento, Italy, June 4–7, presenting a paper on the effectiveness of nudging methods in behavioral economics ("Exploring Nudging: Effectiveness and Beyond");
- At the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology (IAREP) conference "Behavioural Insights in Research and Policymaking" in Tartu, Estonia, June 17–20, I will be presenting a paper on the use of nudging methods in behavioural economics to improve public health ("Nudging Public Health: An Overview of Reviews").
The organizers of these conferences – SABE and IAREP – are internationally respected academic organizations bringing together leading researchers in behavioural economics and economic psychology. They aim to promote understanding of human economic behaviour through evidence-based research approaches, including experimental design studies.
The doctoral student emphasized her appreciation for the high level of scientific discussion at these conferences and the opportunity to exchange ideas with top researchers from around the world – both academics and practitioners from behavioral research teams advising policymakers.
Participation in the conferences was supported by project No. 1.1.1.8/1/24/I/001 "VUAS and ViA Doctoral Grants."
