2024 BEES Workshop: Behavioural and Experimental Economics for Sustainability
DISEI, the Department of Economics and Management, and BEELab+, the Behavioural and Experimental Economics Lab of the University of Florence, organise the workshop on:
Behavioural and Experimental Economics for Sustainability
to be held in Firenze (Italy) on October 17-18, 2024.
The workshop focuses on the application of behavioural and experimental economics to promote sustainability.
The event aims to improve the understanding of the dynamics that influence consumers' and firms' economic and behavioural choices with environmental implications. In this context, the workshop also aims to critically promote the role of the experimental approach in understanding and addressing sustainability challenges. Prosocial motivations may be an important factor leading to actual pro-environmental behaviour. Therefore, studying which behavioural tools are most effective in triggering prosocial motivations can be extremely useful in designing pro-environmental policies, and in raising awareness sustainability issues. The workshop aims to foster new collaborations in this emerging field of research.
Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcome.
Topics include (but are not limited to):
- game theory applied to sustainability
- boosting and/or nudging pro-environmental behaviors
- climate change and cognitive bias
- ecological rationality and cooperative behaviors
- application of economic incentives (e.g., environmental taxation)
- sustainable consumption and production
- business strategies for sustainability
- social environmental dynamics
