IFREE-Sponsored Lecture Series at ESI
Experimental economics is a methodology for generating observations, a set of tools that can be applied to any academic examination of human conduct. Scholars at the Economic Science Institute are naturally interdisciplinary in approach seeking answers to questions. They find inspiration in the work of industry practitioners, economic theorists, historians, cognitive scientists, biologists, psychologists, anthropologists and philosophers.
Since 2008, the IFREE lecture series at the Economic Science Institute (ESI) at Chapman University has drawn 60 speakers of world-class caliber. Winter/Spring 2011--2012 will be a particularly active year in the IFREE sponsored ESI Lecture Series at Chapman University.
