Keynote speakers
| Carlos Alós-Ferrer is Chair Professor of Economics at Lancaster University Management School, and Co-Editor in Chief of the Journal of Economic Psychology. He is an interdisciplinary researcher between (micro)economics, psychology, and (decision) neuroscience. His research focuses on understanding and improving human economic decisions, ranging from decisions under risk to strategic decisions (game theory) and voting. His expertise comprises decision neuroscience ("neuroeconomics"), behavioural experiments, and mathematical modelling. Additionally, Carlos maintains a "Decisions and the Brain" blog at Psychology Today, a personal blog at WordPress, and co-organizes the Economic Psychology Seminar of the IAREP. |
| Dorothea Kübler is the director of the department "Market Behavior" at the WZB and a professor of Economics at the Technische Universität Berlin. Her research uses experimental methods and game theory to examine decision-making and market design. In recent years, her work has concentrated on the design of matching markets, such as the centralized procedure for awarding places at universities in Germany. She also studies the influence of social and moral norms on behaviour, as well as educational choices, discrimination, and the role of AI in the labour market. In 2020 Dorothea Kübler was awarded the Schader Prize and in 2023 a prize from the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences (BBAW). |
