The Nuffield Centre for Experimental Social Sciences of the University of Oxford organizes the First International Meeting on Experimental and Behavioral Social Sciences (IMEBESS), with Jordi Brandts (Institut d’Anàlisi Econòmica (CSIC) and Barcelona GSE), Raymond Duch (Nuffield College Oxford University), Enrique Fatás (University of East Anglia) and Diego Gambetta (European University Institute).
IMEBESS is a succession of the International Meeting series on Experimental and Behavioral Economics (IMEBE). IMEBESS intends to bring together researchers in all areas of the social sciences who are interested in experimental methods. We believe that behavioural economics is increasingly informed by a very diverse range of research traditions. Hence, we are particularly interested in the participation of all the diverse social science disciplines with an interest in experimental research. The program will consist of a number of invited and contributed talks.
The invited speakers are:
Proposals for contributed papers should be sent, in the form of an extended abstract or a full paper, to the organizers through the registration form at IMEBESS-website.
Both theoretical and empirical papers on the topics in all areas of the social sciences, such as experimental and behavioural economics, sociology, political science, psychology are encouraged. The deadline for submitting papers is February 15, 2014. Authors will receive notification of acceptance by March 1, 2014.
The conference venue is Nuffield College, University of Oxford
There will be a registration fee and additional information about the meeting will be posted on the IMEBESS-webpage as it comes up.

By car: from the A34 (Oxford Western bypass), take the A420 Botley exit towards Oxford. Follow the signs towards the City Centre, along the Botley Road; pass under the railway bridge, and turn right at the next set of traffic lights. Then immediately turn left into Park End Street; at the end on the left is the entrance to a public car park, just opposite Nuffield College. Note that this car park is often full at busy times. Oxford traffic is notoriously bad. Avoid coming by car if you can. At busy times, if you do come by road, use the Park & Ride service from Seacourt (signposted from the A420 exit of the A34).
The Park & Ride bus sets and picks up on New Road, outside Nuffield College. The College can provided only limited accommodation and therefore we will be providing participants with a variety of accommodation options for the Oxford area.
