The Institute for Fiscal Studies and UCL, with support from the ERC and ESRC, are organising an academic conference on Consumer Behaviour: New Models, New Methods on the 3rd – 5th October in London.

This event will bring together an international field of researchers to strengthen interactions between theorists and econometricians. We hope to provide a forum to discuss novel methods for moving between theory and observational data, combining insights from the lab and field and assessing the relative performance of behavioural and neoclassical models.
