‘Our Experimental Economics Community Welcomes Everyone from Professors to Bachelor’s Students’
From September 19–27, 2023, the Third Pacific School Conference on Experimental Economics (PSEE) will take place in Vladivostok. The conference has been organised by the HSE University International Laboratory for Experimental and Behavioural Economics as part of the Mirror Laboratories project with the Research Laboratory for Modelling Socio-Economic Processes at Far Eastern Federal University. The conference will be held in an in-person format, and foreign participants can take part online.
Alexis Belianin, Head and Senior Research Fellow of the International Laboratory for Experimental and Behavioural Economics, talks about the conference and other activities in Vladivostok, and extends an invitation to Russian and foreign participants alike to take part in the third PSEE conference.
The Third Pacific School of Experimental Economics is a traditional assembly point for an emerging community of Eurasian researchers in experimental economics. This community is supportive of colleagues of any rank, from full professors to bachelor’s students; the only entry criterion is a willingness to be serious about experimental methods and research. It is open-minded, and welcomes anyone willing to join.
PSEE is energetic in all dimensions, from economic theory and programming to swimming and hiking on the shores of the Pacific
Last but not least, it is a great convention point for old and new friends who share a passion for economics research.
PSEE has emerged as a core activity of the Mirror Laboratory in Experimental Economics between HSE University in Moscow and Far East Federal University. Although this initiative is rather new, it is based on a long tradition of collaboration in teaching and research between the two universities, their faculty and students.
This year, for the first time, the school will be followed by an international research conference with a focus on experimentally driven economic theory. We look forward to inspirational empirical results on mechanisms delivered by Alexander Nesterov (St Petersburg), Marina Sandomirskaya (Moscow), Alexander Filatov (Vladivostok and Irkutsk) and Nikolai Korgin (Moscow), to the new projects by Tatiana Zhuravleva (St Petersburg), Marina Ryzhkova (Tomsk), Yulia Varlamova (Ufa), to the creativity of young researchers such as Daria Chernykh (Vladivostok) and Elizaveta Likhacheva (Moscow), and to the constructive contributions by Olga Vasilieva (Blagoveschensk), Alexis Belianin (Moscow) and Sergei Vartanov (Vladivostok and Moscow).
At odds with the current trends, we look forward for broadening the school's geographic scope.
In 2023, in addition to Russian researchers, we expect to see participants from Kazakhstan, China, Turkey, Germany and France
Accordingly, there will be an important cross-cultural dimension of the project, featuring research based on Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, China and European data.
