The summer school at Trento is simultaneously a school, teaching contemporary
theories and methods, and a workshop, wherein participants, both faculty and students, develop research and ideas to advance this frontier.
The school is a call to the community of present and future researchers interested in pursuing this objective.
The summer school is intended primarily for Ph.D. students, but also for post-docs and beginning faculty in Economics, Psychology,
and related disciplines
The general aim of the Summer School is to provide participants with an interdisciplinary and open-minded view of the study of
economic decision-making.
The first part of the schedule includes overview lectures,
which cover topics such as heuristics and biases, preferences over risky and uncertain outcomes, reference-dependent preferences,
decision utility and experienced utility, extrinsic and intrinsic motivation, happiness, procedural justice, and social interactions.
Part of the lectures will focus on the methodology, with particular attention to experimental methods, and on data analysis.
The second part of the schedule includes seminars in which invited
speakers present their recent research.
In addition to overview lectures, seminars, and group work, the school
will feature seminar-style discussions of participants’ research. Applicants therefore need to include statements about their current or
projected research, along with relevant research papers, if any.
People interested in participating in the Summer School are encouraged to
apply by submitting a curriculum vitae, a two-page essay describing their interest in Psychological Economics and Economic
Psychology, a course transcript from their PhD program, including advanced examinations passed, one or two letters of recommendation,
statements about their current or projected research, along with relevant research papers, if any.
The Summer School is intended for Ph.D students and post-doctoral scholars.
Applications are due by 31 March 2009. We encourage electronic submissions (PDF format): psyecon-iarep-school@economia.unitn.it.
Admissions decisions will be made and announced by 8 April 2009. All applicants will be informed by e-mail about the results.
