Economics and Decision Sciences

The economics and decision sciences specialization prepares students for high quality research on a wide array of both theoretical and empirical topics in economics. .

The Department of Economics and Decision Sciences at HEC Paris offers a Ph.D. in Economics program inclusive of a five-year fellowship . Our students are trained to the highest international standards to secure competitiveness in the international job market, spanning both academic and policy-making institutions.

The program

The first two years of the program expose students to cutting-edge courses in Economics as part of the Master in Economics , a collaborative postgraduate program jointly offered by HEC, ENSAE, and Ecole Polytechnique. This collaboration assembles the best researchers from the Economics departments of the three schools and HEC's department of Finance, providing students with unique and invaluable support in developing their research. In this vibrant and rich academic environment, students have significant flexibility and a broad range of options in assembling their study plans, allowing them to select courses that most effectively complement their initial background and desired research profile.

The subsequent three years are primarily focused on the completion of the thesis, promoting a rigorous and comprehensive approach to research. The high faculty-to-student ratio ensures that each student is actively involved in the life of the department, so that interactions happen continuously, far beyond the formal supervisor-student relationship. Integral to the training, the program encourages periods of visiting research at globally renowned institutions, enabling students to better understand the international academic community in which they will grow as researchers, particularly as they approach the job market towards the end of their studies. A variety of funding sources will ensure all the resources needed to a successful competition of any research in economics.

The department offers a rich array of research events that foster intellectual development and collaboration. One cornerstone is our weekly research seminar , where accomplished researchers from various universities share their latest findings, providing exposure to diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research. Furthermore, our faculty recurrently organizes international conferences, where PhD students are encouraged to attend and take active role; these include the “ D-TEA worskhop ”, “ Firms location and Economic Geography workshop ”, and “ Salento Macro Meetings ”, to cite only few of them. Another highlight is our annual Econ PhD workshop , a lively conference organized by our PhD students, where PhD students across prominent programs in Europe and US present and discuss their work. This workshop serves as a nexus for forging connections with future researchers and colleagues, nurturing interactions that often lead to collaborative research projects. Check out the amazing program of last year’s edition !

Research topics

PhD candidates will benefit from the outstanding research quality of the Economics and Decision Sciences faculty members. Faculty members regularly contribute to prestigious economics publications, including the American Economic Review, Econometrica, Journal of Political Economy, and the Review of Economic Studies, among others, on a wide array of both theoretical and empirical topics in Economics. The department hosts prestigious research grants from highly competitive contests like the national French ANR and the European Research Council.

The following non-exhaustive list provides some ideas of the type of research done in our department:

Within the realm of decision sciences , our department engages in both theoretical and experimental research, investigating individual and group decision-making, especially when confronted with uncertainty and the passing of time. Our projects encompass a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from fundamental aspects of decision theory to pressing issues such as decision-making in the context of climate change.

The department is also engaged at the forefront of theoretical exploration in various domains, including economic theory, game theory, and applied mathematics . Conducted work extends to dynamic games, social learning, strategic experimentation, information and mechanism design, as well as social and communication networks. This research extends to applied fields such as mechanism design and industrial organization.

Our department has a focus on entrepreneurship , investigating how to boost entrepreneurial talent, the influence of peers on career choices, and the challenges related to startup financing. In the sphere of innovation , our endeavors involve identifying innovative firms and studying green innovation through the construction of new data about patenting activities. We delve  competitive forces, R&D activities, and patent allocation, and study their implications for policy.

From a more macro perspective, our research projects focus on endogenous growth , incorporating firm heterogeneity, to shed light on the aggregate consequences of resource allocation inefficiencies. In the field of monetary economics , we explore various facets of monetary policy, including the role of household and firm expectations on inflation, consumers’ search, and the intricate interactions between fiscal and monetary policies.

In the field of urban economics , we actively investigate the ramifications of technological changes, such as automation and offshoring, in shaping cities and the relationships between firm structures and capabilities. Our department maintains a strong focus on studying the future of labor , harnessing innovative data and surveys. A central theme involves understanding the transformation of local labor markets in the face of technological progress.

General information

• PhD Program

The Berlin School of Economics PhD Program provides outstanding doctoral students with a vibrant, intensively networked research community. The program develops the students’ talents in a unique combination of a high-level, academic research environment together with applied, policy-oriented research opportunities. Students receive state-of-the-art coursework training and can select from a wide array of specializations. For each specialization, a professional research environment is provided by Berlin’s universities and economic research institutes.

How to apply

Course catalog

Program structure and curriculum

All PhD tracks offered in the PhD Program share the same structure and general curriculum. The program’s curriculum is divided into a qualification and a dissertation phase:

Qualification Phase

During the qualification phase (about three semesters), students acquire methodological and research-oriented training in mandatory course work in economic theory, applied economics, business studies, econometrics, and economic policy. Students define their research area and find supervisory support from two supervisors. They write research proposals that are discussed with faculty members individually and in seminars in order to provide early feedback on the scientific potential of research ideas. This is a central part of the PhD Program, in which the students have full flexibility in the choice of their research topics and of the supervisors. During this phase, students are funded through stipends that allow for this flexibility. In total, students have to complete a  minimum of 90 ECTS credits  in order to finish the qualification phase of the program.

Dissertation Phase

During the subsequent dissertation phase (about three years), students write a doctoral thesis while having the opportunity to apply their knowledge in the professional research environment that is provided at the Berlin universities and research institutes participating in the Berlin School of Economics. In this phase, students are typically employed at their supervisor’s chair or in research groups at research institutes.

The PhD will be awarded by one of the institutions in the Berlin School of Economics with the right to award doctoral degrees. In most cases, the PhD is awarded by the institution the student’s first supervisor is affiliated with.

Behavioural Economics

Self-funded

Project code

ECFN4601020

Start dates

February and October

Application deadline

Applications accepted all year round

Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3 year full-time or 6 year part-time PhD project, to commence in October or February.

The PhD will be based in the Faculty of Business and Law and will be supervised by Dr Wolfgang Luhan , Dr Zahra Murad  and Dr Federica Alberti .

The Faculty of Business and Law offers funding to attend conferences (currently £550), training (currently £450), and a work-based placement (currently a maximum of £3,000 tied up to the period of 12 weeks).

The work on this project will involve:

• research design and project management
• theoretical modelling
• experimental design and implementation
• quantitative data analysis – econometrics and non-parametric inference tests

We are an active group of behavioural economists offering various projects for, or as basis of, Ph.D. thesis. Our research extends the standard economic models by looking at how psychological, emotional and social factors affect economic decision-making.

We are currently looking for Ph.D. candidates to work on the following topics:

1. Negotiations and Climate Change

The international community has set a target of keeping global warming below 1.5 C. The EU has outlined a vision of reducing global emissions by at least 60% below 2010 by 2050. Objectives and visions are of little use without a clear way forward and the progress made has been disappointing. So far, a global, enforcement agreement has proven elusive. (For example, the Paris Agreement falls short of requirements as proven by the US walking away from the agreement.) The project will focus provide insight into why a climate change agreement is difficult to achieve using game theory and behavioural economics. This, in turn, may provide insight into how to overcome such difficulties.

2. Can Behavioural Economics help to tackle Climate Change?

How to accommodate human behaviour to help prevent climate change? Adequate answers require a deep understanding of human-decision making in a wide range of domains including energy use, consumption of goods, and mobility choices. The project will focus on behavioural and environmental economics to explore environmental consumer and firm behaviours related to climate change.

3. The effect of biases on economic decision-making

Psychological literature has identified numerous biases that determine economic decisions. In most situations, people do not behave in the rational manner economic theories would predict. Prominent examples include the status-quo bias, overconfidence, bandwagon effect, confirmation bias, in-group/out-group bias and framing. The project will look at how cognitive bias(es) affect certain economic decisions and how de-biasing techniques may work to arrive at optimal decisions.

4. Decision-Making for others

A recent strand of literature considers decision making for others focusing on the question whether people would make similar or different decisions for others as for themselves. This form of decision making for others is not incorporated in standard economics models but is well included in every day decision-making environments (parents, brokers, managers, policy makers). This project aims to systematically identify and analyse economic situations in which existing theoretical models as well as related empirical results predict differences in behaviour between decisions taken for oneself and for others.

Fees and funding

Visit the research subject area page for fees and funding information for this project.

Funding availability: Self-funded PhD students only. 

PhD full-time and part-time courses are eligible for the UK  Government Doctoral Loan  (UK and EU students only – eligibility criteria apply).

Some PhD projects may include additional fees – known as bench fees – for equipment and other consumables, and these will be added to your standard tuition fee. Speak to the supervisory team during your interview about any additional fees you may have to pay. Please note, bench fees are not eligible for discounts and are non-refundable.

Entry Requirements

General admissions.

You'll need a good first degree from an internationally recognized university (minimum upper second class or equivalent, depending on your chosen course) or a Master’s degree in economics or a related relevant area. In exceptional cases, we may consider equivalent professional experience and/or Qualifications. English language proficiency at a minimum of IELTS band 6.5 with no component score below 6.0.

Specific Admissions

We welcome applications from highly motivated prospective students with a background in behavioural sciences (e.g. economics, psychology and other relevant disciplines). A familiarity with behavioural theory, game theory, econometrics and experimental methods is desirable, familiarity with at least one of these is essential. We encourage prospective students to design their own research strategies depending on their interest and core skills.

We encourage you to contact Dr Zahra Murad ( [email protected] ) to discuss your interest before you apply, quoting the project code.

When you are ready to apply, please follow the 'Apply now' link on the Economics PhD subject area page and select the link for the relevant intake. Make sure you submit a personal statement, proof of your degrees and grades, details of two referees, proof of your English language proficiency and an up-to-date CV. Our ‘ How to Apply ’ page offers further guidance on the PhD application process.

Behavioural Economics

Research Priority Area at the University of Amsterdam

• Principal Investigators
• Publications
• Public outreach

RPA-BE enables experimental research on a large scale

The unifying factor in the research of the RPA-BE is the extensive use of the experimental method. This method is costly, however, e.g., due to the need to remunerate human subjects for participation in experiments and the fixed cost of maintaining an experimental lab that meets the international standard. Now that Behavioural Economics is a Research Priority Area, additional resources are available. A major added value of the RPA-BE is that it has enabled the application of the experimental method at a scale that is needed for research of this kind. In short, excellent laboratory research requires a sufficient scale of research activities and interaction and the RPA-BE has made this possible.

Researchers can apply at the RPA-BE for the funds needed to run experiments, so that they can focus on their core business. This has substantially boosted the researchers’ productivity. A committee allocates the resources to promising research proposals. This committee consists of Prof. Theo Offerman, Prof. Erik Plug, Prof. Joep Sonnemans, Prof. Randolph Sloof and  Prof. Jan Tuinstra.

Cooperation with top-level research groups across the world

The Research Priority Area Behavioural Economics (RPA-BE) cooperates with top-level research groups with a similar agenda across the world. The most intensive collaborations in Europe are with groups at the Autonoma University Barcelona, the University of Nottingham, the University of East Anglia and Catholic University of Milan, and in the US with New York University, the University of Arizona, the University of California at Santa Barbara and the University of Wisconsin. These collaborations have led to joint authorships and an active exchange of PhD Students. In the future we intend to maintain and expand these contacts where possible.

Annual workshops to exchange ideas with international researchers

In addition, the research RPA-BE has funded three workshops, allowing faculty members to interact with the top-researchers in laboratory experiments (ABEE2009), field experiments (ABEE2010), behavioural theory (ABEE2011), behavioral industrial organization (ABEE2012) and neuroeconomics and the lab (ABEE2013). The RPA-BE also attracted top international visitors and made it possible to organize international PhD workshops.

Four core groups joined forces in RPA-BE

The Amsterdam School of Economics of UvA has an excellent status in the field of Behavioral Economics. The UvA research priority area Behavioral Economics merged four core groups. CREED, CeNDEF, the Industrial Organisation group and the Human Capital group joined forces to become the RPA-BE. The first three were the faculty’s three highest ranked groups at the most recent quality assessment by the Quality Assessment Netherlands’ Universities (QANU).

Behavioral Economics

The field of Behavioral Economics was pioneered by our own Carnegie Mellon faculty Herbert Simon (a Nobel Prize winner in Economics) and George Loewenstein . While Behavioral Economics started as a small movement in the 1970s, it has made an enormous impact on academic research and research in Behavioral Economics papers regularly appears in the top economics journals. Behavioral Economics research has been used to help governments enact better public policy and operate more efficiently, to help businesses improve their profitability, and to help individuals make better decisions.

Joint Program Details

This program builds on the world-renowned Behavioral Economics faculty from the Department of Social and Decision Sciences and the outstanding Economics faculty from the Tepper School of Business . Students in this joint program will have access to world-renowned experts in decision science, organizational behavior, statistics, marketing and many other areas. Research facilities like the Center for Behavioral and Decision Research and the BEDR Policy Lab will also be key resources for students.

As a joint program, oversight will be handled by the Joint Program Oversight Committee (JPOC). This committee is comprised of the Director of Graduate Studies at SDS, the head of the Tepper School Ph.D. Committee, and one faculty liaison between these areas. Most decisions regarding Ph.D. students in this program will be handled by the JPOC. However, it is important to note that students are considered members of both the Tepper School and SDS. This means that decisions regarding Ph.D. education made by those schools separately also apply to students in this joint program. That is, the Graduate Education Committee (GEC) at SDS and the Ph.D. committee at the Tepper School may make changes to the general requirements for ALL graduate students in their respective areas. These changes also apply to joint program students.

For more information, please contact the IRB at  [email protected]

How can the INSEAD-Sorbonne Université Behavioural Lab help faculty and PhD students publish more papers? 

Every year the lab conducts a range of studies, including computer-based studies, group interaction studies, interview studies, ‘pen-and-paper’ surveys, studies on food consumption and negotiation studies. More than 180 peer-reviewed articles have been published in A-list journals since the lab was opened in 2002. The lab offers assistance at every phase of your research project – you concentrate on the research while we take care of the logistics.

My research project requires that my participants have no distractions or interactions. Can you help me?

The lab is custom-made for behavioural research. To avoid environmental distractions, all experimental rooms are sound-insulated and decorated in neutral colours.

I would like to conduct a study with real people and real stimuli, is this possible?

Since opening in 2002, more than 150,000 people have participated in lab studies involving real stimuli (and real behaviour). We have a pool of more than 7000 people willing to participate in research on very short notice. The lab recruits and manages the participant pool courtesy of the lab. The average hourly rate for participant time is €12. We typically fill up the timeslots for your study within 48 hours. It is also possible to use the pool for online studies and obtain data swiftly at minimum cost (around €150 for a short study). The standard population consists of students at Parisian universities. The lab will recruit participants specifically for your study if you require a special profile.

I can’t come to the lab personally. Can I still use it?

The lab’s research team will conduct the study, according to your instructions. You will not have to hire an RA or worry about contracts, training, etc.

How much does it cost to conduct a study at the lab?

Faculty members have free access to our premises, software, hardware, ethical validation and databases. Researchers affiliated with INSEAD can benefit from the help of an RA (unless you have your own RA or are working with a PhD student). Your costs are only those incurred by your study, such as participant compensation. HEC-affiliated researchers must settle costs incurred by their study (compensation, translation, coding, and an RA if necessary).We encourage PhD and post-doctoral students to carry out their own studies. Thus, you pay only the costs related to the recruitment of participants (compensation). For more information, please contact  Hoai Huong NGO.

My study is in English and it is adapted to a North-American/Asian/Scandinavian context, can it be translated into a French context?

The lab in-house translators are native French speakers and have advanced degrees in Social Psychology. The team is multilingual and can adapt your stimuli to a French context. The team has successfully translated and adapted materials for more than 400 studies since 2002.

The Behavioral and Experimental Economics group was founded in 1991 at the University of Amsterdam. It is one of the first centers for experimental and behavioral economics in Europe. The group has an influential position in this field in the Netherlands and Europe. At Erasmus University Rotterdam, the group started with the arrival of Peter Wakker and Han Bleichrodt in 2005, and has since expanded to include many other researchers. This part of the group focuses on decision under risk and uncertainty, and intertemporal choice.

What if somebody told you that great part of economic theories, models and assumptions are questionable in terms of describing and/or predicting people's behavior? The primary goal of this course is an introduction to the insights gained from incorporating psychology into economic modeling. Behavioral economics is one of the fastest-growing scientific fields and field of practice. Governments around the world are increasingly relying on behavioral economics to tackle a variety of issues that affect societal welfare (such as addiction, waste, and over-consumption). Similarly, more and more businesses are turning to behavioral economics as they look for new ways to increase the satisfaction and lifetime value of their customers. In addition, many organizations are relying on behavioral economics to improve the quality of managerial decisions. This interdisciplinary field is a combination of concepts derived from microeconomics, social & cognitive psychology, behavioral decision research, consumer research, neuroeconomics, experimental economics etc. Its main focus is on the question “How do people, in reality, make decisions”. Some of the more specific questions include: How do real people execute decisions to quit smoking, commit to a relationship or save for retirement? How do they cope with risk and uncertainty? How do they weigh the present against the future? How do people perceive money and use it? Do people know what made us happy in the past and what will make us happy in the future? Do we know what made us happy in the past and what will make us happy in the future? How can brain imaging reveal in-depth comprehension of brain processes relevant to decision making? Why we fail on “Mondays” to start dieting or exercising? ... Besides theoretical insight in this discipline, students will be presented with practical knowledge on how to manage the choice architecture, generate successful business strategies and to improve their own decision-making. Knowledge of these issues can be a significant source of competitive advantage, because they are unknown to most managers and are not taught in most undergraduate and MBA programs.

Research Group Behavioral Economics

The research group behavioral economics comprises researchers at the Alfred-Weber-Institute who aim to integrate psychological insights into economics and finance.

From a descriptive perspective, we combine theoretical analyses with experimental and empirical methods to understand how individuals and groups make economic and financial decisions. From a prescriptive perspective, we study how to design institutions that help people making better decisions.  

The Behavioral Economics group publishes theoretical, experimental and empirical work that studies economic behavior in markets, strategic interactions, and individual decisions. Its work has been published in influential economics outlets including the  American Economic Review ,  Journal of Political Economy ,  Econometrica ,  Review of Economic Studies ,  Economic Journal  or  Journal of Economic Theory ,  as well as Finance and Management outlets such as the  Review of Financial Studies ,  Management Science  or  Operations Research .

Group members serve as editors for several journals in the field, including European Economic Review, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Journal of Risk and Insurance, Management Science and Operations Research .

The Behavioral Economics group offers several lectures and seminars in the field of experimental and behavioral economics and finance in both the Bachelor and Master programs. It offers the Behavioral Economics Track in the Master Program. Its members supervise Master and Bachelor theses in the field of behavioral economics.

• EPISODE 281

The art of effective facilitation with Dr Myriam Hadnes 281

Myriam Hadnes,is a facilitation evangelist with a PhD in behavioral economics, shares insights on the art of facilitation and its impact on organizational dynamics. She emphasizes the importance of psychological safety, vulnerability, and authenticity in creating a conducive environment for collaboration and breakthrough moments. Miriam also highlights the role of facilitation in transforming organizational culture and leadership mindset. Takeaways

• Facilitation is not limited to those with the title of a facilitator; it is a mindset that can be adopted by managers to transition from micromanaging to leadership.
• Psychological safety, vulnerability, and authenticity are crucial in creating an environment where individuals feel comfortable asking questions, sharing ideas, and collaborating effectively.
• The role of a facilitator is to make the implicit explicit, promote vulnerability, and encourage a culture of curiosity and collaboration within the group.
• Facilitation plays a significant role in transforming organizational culture and leadership mindset, leading to improved team dynamics and better outcomes.
• The art of facilitation involves preparation, attunement to the needs of the group, and the ability to interpret silence and unspoken dynamics within the group.
• "I think every manager needs to learn how to facilitate at least a bit to step out of the micromanaging burden into leadership."
• "As a facilitator, the next step is to show them that there is a higher goal that brings them all together so that they're all on the same side."
• "When we reply to other people more with 'yes and,' we help the person to feel good about themselves because they feel seen."
