Economics and Psychology One-Day Conference

A one-day conference on Economics and Psychology will take place in NUIM on November 7th. The purpose of this event is to provide a forum for the discussion of work at the interface of economics, psychology and cognate disciplines such as neuroscience. The event is co-organized by the Department of Economics, Finance and Accounting in Maynooth and the UCD Geary Institute. The International Association for Research in Economic Psychology (IAREP) is the relevant international body and we would encourage attendees to consider joining this group. All are welcome and there is no registration fee.  Please contact Liam Delaney ( This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it ) to confirm attendance. The event will take place in the Physics Hall in Maynooth, which is on the South Campus. The Physics Theatre is number 8 on the map provided below.
