The Decision Making and Economic Psychology Center at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and the Behavioral Decision Making group at the UCLA Anderson School of Management invite submissions of papers for the above conference. The conference will include mostly one-track talks by invited participants. Submitted papers, if accepted, will be assigned to either a parallel session section or a poster session.

Student paper awards

Ph.D. students who are the presenting authors of papers are eligible to apply to the student paper awards. The number of awards and their monetary value will be determined later. In addition to scientific merit, the selection of the winners will take into account the role of the student in the paper (e.g., a single-authored paper by a student will have an advantage over a co-authored paper, and a paper in which the student is the first author will have an advantage over one in which the student is the third author).
