  • preference aggregation
  • agency theory

Join our Microeconomic Brown Bag Seminars series

Our Microeconomic Brown Bag Seminars offer a collegial forum for researchers to present, discuss, and critically engage with current research in microeconomic theory and its applications.

We run these to encourage rigorous exchange in an accessible and informal setting. Each seminar provides a space for scholars to test ideas, receive constructive feedback, and explore interdisciplinary connections.

By combining academic depth with open dialogue, the series facilitates a vibrant community of researchers committed to advancing understanding in microeconomics.
