Keynote speakers

Martin Dufwenberg is Professor of Economics at Purdue University's Daniels School of Business and Visiting Professor at the University of Gothenburg. Martin’s research uses game theory and experiments to explore topics in behavioural economics. He works on how to incorporate emotions and other forms of belief-dependent motivations into economic analysis using an analytical framework called psychological game theory. He currently serves on the Editorial Board of Experimental Economics and the Journal of the Economic Science Association.

Brit Grosskopf is a Professor of Economics at the University of Exeter Business School. Before joining the University of Exeter, Brit held posts at Harvard Business School, Texas A&M, and the University of Birmingham, where she founded the Birmingham Experimental Economics Laboratory (BEEL). Her research interests lie at the intersection of economics and psychology. She uses experimental methods to study individual and group behaviour with a particular interest in social preferences, reasoning, learning, reputation, identity and happiness. Brit has obtained research support from the National Science Foundation, the British Academy and the Russell Sage Foundation.
