Behavioral Economics Roundtable

In 1992 the Foundation launched the Behavioral Economics Roundtable, whose initial members were elected by participants in the program and given Foundation support to devise activities designed to advance this new interdisciplinary field. The results have been so consistently successful that the Roundtable has become the Foundation’s principal means of supporting behavioral economics. Now made up of 28 prominent behavioral economists, the Roundtable currently sponsors three main activities: a small grants program for younger scholars undertaking behaviorally oriented research; a two-week summer workshop taught by Roundtable members for graduate students and junior faculty interested in entering this new interdisciplinary field; and a book series in a behavioral economics co-published by RSF and Princeton University Press.
