OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Models of human behaviour lie at the heart of economics and progress in economics must take into account the latest advances in empirical and theoretical understandings of behaviour. Prof. Dhami is the author of ‘The Foundations of Behavioral Economic Analysis’, a definitive and comprehensive survey of the state of behavioural economics research. In this seminar Prof. Dhami will be interviewed by Prof. Eric Beinhocker, Executive Director of INET Oxford, on the current state of behavioural economics research, major challenges and questions, and exciting areas of new work. They will then engage the group in an interactive discussion on the implications of this work for new economic thinking, including how social preferences and psychological motivations might be integrated into empirically validated models, how behavioural insights might be utilised in methodologies such as agent-based, network models, behavioural game theory, and the possibilities for creating a macroeconomics that is truly micro-founded on empirically rigorous behavioural insights.
