Behavioural Economics and Social Transformation

Research in behavioural economics has fundamentally expanded our understanding of human decision-making behaviour in recent decades. The doctoral programme Behavioural Economics and Social Transformation was founded in December 2022. It applies basic research in behavioural economics to technological and social transformation processes. The doctoral research group builds on an established network of behavioural economists at universities in Lower Saxony and systematically links these locations. Cooperation partners are Leuphana University Lüneburg, Clausthal University of Technology, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg and the University of Vechta. The doctoral college combines regular personal exchange in workshops with an individually tailored teaching programme.
