M-BEES & M-BEPS 2026 - Call for Papers

[Meissner, Thomas (ALGEC)]

Dear colleagues,

 

We are excited to announce the 18th Maastricht Behavioral and Experimental Economics Symposium (M-BEES 2026) and the 11th Maastricht Behavioral Economic Policy Symposium (M-BEPS 2026). Both symposia will take place at Maastricht University on June 8 and 9, 2026.

 

We are delighted to welcome four excellent keynote speakers:

 

M-BEES (June 8, 2026):

• Maria Bigoni (University of Bologna)
• Erik Snowberg (University of Utah)

 

M-BEPS (June 9, 2026):

• Björn Bartling (University of Zurich)
• Johannes Wohlfart (University of Cologne)

 

As in previous years, M-BEES focuses on theory and experiments, bringing together researchers to explore if and how economic experiments can inform economic theory and vice versa. M-BEPS centers on the intersection of behavioral and experimental research with policy applications, providing a platform for academics and practitioners to examine how behavioral economics can inform decision-making in government and business.

 

We invite researchers to submit full research papers for presentation at M-BEES or M-BEPS. The deadline for submission is March 1, 2026, and submissions are welcome on any topic related to the themes of the respective symposia. Please note that each presenter may only submit one paper across both symposia. For details about the submission procedure and additional information, please visit the symposia website: https://sites.google.com/view/mbees-mbeps.

 

We hope to see you in Maastricht in June!

 

Peter Werner and Thomas Meissner (Organizers M-BEES & M-BEPS)
