https://www.uibk.ac.at/credence-goods/events/spring-school-2023/.
Purpose and Speakers
The Spring School will focus on theoretical, experimental and behavioral approaches towards analyzing the economic implications of credence goods and will be taught by Loukas Balafoutas and Rudolf Kerschbamer (both from the University of Innsbruck). In addition, special sessions on selected topics will be held by Jeannette Brosig-Koch (University of Magdeburg), Cass Sunstein (Harvard University) and Michael Kirchler (University of Innsbruck).
The purpose of this Spring School is to provide students with the tools needed to analyze key determinants of individual behavior and market performance in credence goods markets (with a wide definition of credence goods), such as markets for health care, repair and legal services, as well as markets for financial advice and fund management. In addition, science as a credence good, metasciences approaches, and nudging are subjects of the course.
Part of the program will be the two-day workshop “Innsbruck Spring Summit – (Un)Ethical Behavior in Markets”
(https://www.uibk.ac.at/credence-goods/events/spring-summit-2023/).
Keynotes will be given by Susann Fiedler (Vienna University of Economics and Business) and Cass Sunstein (Harvard University).
