General Information
Behavioral economics and behavioral finance typically incorporate cognitive and social factors in modeling economic decisions. These include decisions made by the buyers and sellers of insurance-related products. The field of behavioral insurance attempts to explain many of the discrepancies between theories and observations within insurance markets.
The workshop will be hosted by the Munich Risk and Insurance Center (MRIC) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) in Munich, Germany, and organized by Andreas Richter and Jörg Schiller. It will be held in cooperation with the Center for the Economic Analysis of Risk (CEAR) at Georgia State University. The preliminary schedule has Professors Martin Kocher (Institute for Advanced Studies, Vienna), Matthew Rabin (Harvard University) and Rakesh Sarin (UCLA) giving plenary talks.
Please submit proposals electronically to richter@lmu.de as file attachment in PDF or MS-Word format by July 31st, 2018. Authors of accepted papers will be notified by September 17th, 2018 and completed papers will be due by October 31st, 2018.
