Due to growing attendance, we are only able to offer boxed meals to faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and PhD students. All members of the university community are welcome to attend the talk.


Speakers will present their research related to Behavioral Economics. Faculty and students are welcome to attend.

This event will be in-person in Harper Center Room 3B. If you have any questions, please contact Daniel Owings (Daniel.Owings@chicagobooth.edu).

Please note that on October 20, 2025, the workshop is being hosted by the Behavioral Science workshop and thus has a different time and location noted on the agenda.
