Summer school "Why isn't ethics a behavioural science?"

The summer school is organized by by Econometica (Centro interuniversitario per l’etica economica e la responsabilità sociale d’impresa), LaSER (Laboratory for Social Responsibility, Ethics and Rational Choice), and the University of Trento, Department of Economics, and will take place in Pergina Valsugana, Trento, Italy, 23-24 September 2008.

The idea behind the school is that our understanding of the role of social preferences in shaping social norms and institutions will be enhanced if we manage to integrate three sides of the current research. First, the theory of bounded rationality and learning in games. Second, the more sophisticated approach to people’s preferences pioneered by behavioural economists, which incorporates altruism and spitefulness, a taste for reciprocity, feelings of guilt and shame and other moral emotions.
Finally, the experimental research on the way in which flesh-and-bone individuals make their decisions in strategic situations.

PhD Program in Economics

The PhD Program offered by the Department of Economics at the University of
Bologna (DSE). This program aims at training students for a career as economists in academic institutions or in research departments of corporations, public organizations, financial institutions and the government.

The program has a standard organization and is taught in English. In the first year students are asked to take six courses in quantitative methods, mcroeconomics and macroeconomics. By the end of the first year they will also have to choose a field of specialization and a research supervisor.
