Abstract deadline extended: Behavioral Economics (SABE) Annual conference June 23-25

[Natalia V Czap]

Dear Colleagues,

We extended the abstract submission deadline for the 2026 Soceity for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics Annual Conference, which will be held at the University of Michigan – Dearborn, USA from June 23-25, 2026 (Tuesday-Thursday).

• Submit an abstract (up to 1000 words) by February 15, 2026.

The Herbert Simon Lecture will be given by Dr. Erin Krupka, Professor of Information at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. The Keynote Lecture by Dr. Joyce Chen, Professor of Economics at Ohio State University. 

A workshop for Early Career Researchers will take place on Monday, June 22, 2026.

Looking to combine the conference with some down time? You may wish to take advantage of the attractions in the surrounding region, exploring Dearborn's distinctive heritage and Detroit’s cultural and entertainment offerings. To the north, Michigan offers dramatic nature experiences with the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, and Isle Royale National Park. Beyond Michigan, participants can travel west to Chicago, a cultural and entertainment hub, or to the east to experience one of the world’s great natural wonders, the Niagara Falls. The journey can be enriched with time in the Niagara wine region, before continuing to Toronto for a few days of world-class museums, waterfront walks, theatre and vibrant multicultural dining.

We are looking forward to welcoming you to Michigan!

Warmly,

Natalia
