We are excited to host this year's edition of iSEE. Many great talks. Very much looking forward to it!

I'm very proud of our three job market candidates this year. They all have terrific JMPs and a very promising pipeline. If your department is looking for talented economists using experimental methods, you should take a good look at them! @Lina_loz @NishthaChatters @JanasMoritz

The 2024 edition of iSEE is taking place this week at @NYUAbuDhabi. We are very happy to welcome such a great group of experimental economists here at CBID!

Amazing two days of iSEE 2023 conference with many exciting and insightful talks! Thanks to all the participants! @NYUAbuDhabi

Without being hyperbolic, it was a pleasure to hear David Laibson's talk at @CBIDResearch. We are lucky that one of the golden eggs of behavioral economics is not hiding any shrouded attributes and is truly generous with his time and attention.

We are excited to host the 2023 edition of iSee later this week. We are looking forward to welcoming many great experimental economists here at @NYUAbuDhabi !

We were very happy to host this week @Paola_Profeta from @Unibocconi and the @AxaGenderLab at the C-BID series seminar! She presented her recent work on how implicit gender stereotypes influence labor market hiring decisions.
