Behavioral Economics and Public Health Graduate Conversation Group

The "Behavioral Economics and Public Health" Graduate Students Conversation Group brings together students from 5 different academic departments (Economics, Health Policy, Public Policy, Haas Business School, Agricultural and Resource Economics) whose research interests meet at the intersection of Behavioral Economics and Health Policy. The goal of the group is to present, discuss and motivate research that can shed light on better understanding why agents fail to pursue certain health behaviors since we believe that this could help to design and put in place appropriate public policies relevant to the matter.

Group Coordinator:  Lydia Ashton
