Institutional and Behavioral Economics Section (IBES)
2012 IBES Student Paper Competition
The IBES Section is happy to announce the first IBES Student Paper Competition. For information about the competition, including submission requirements and prizes, please read the competition description below.
The IBES section recognizes that human nature involves complex motives and influences, such as self-interest; shared-interest; ethical and moral considerations; sentiments; and social/emotional dimensions of individual economic actions.
The IBES section seeks to:
- Encourage robust empirical tests of theories of human behavior.
- Provide validation and support for those who may wish to explore alternatives to orthodox theories, especially for new entrants into the profession.
- Broaden horizons, theories and approaches currently brought to the AAEA, and to the national discourse on agricultural, food, community and resource issues.
- Encourage AAEA members to explore and develop new tools of analysis and methodologies consistent with alternative theories that reflect the complexity of human nature and institutions.
- Expand the capacity for interdisciplinary work and dialogue with other social sciences.
