December 15-17, 2023

BREW is a prestigious conference of the Economic Science Association (ESA). In addition to the rich exchange of ideas, this conference will be a great opportunity for young research scholars in India to interact with well-acclaimed economists and gain valuable feedback on their own research agendas. Facilitating a rich exchange of ideas, we expect to engage globally with academics, policy-makers and industry professionals with cutting-edge research from celebrated academics (potentially including award-winning academics) from all over the world. It is in the interest of academics to inform policy-making and actively engage in the policy-space to address real-life issues of economic behavior.

The list of technical sessions for BREW 2023 are as follows:

  • Cooperative game theory
  • Bargaining power and ability
  • Macroeconomic experiments
  • Behavioural game theory
  • Social norms
  • Heuristics
  • Role of incentives
  • Environmental behaviour and sustainability
  • Public goods
  • Externalities
