I'm attending this one day event designed to bring economists and psychologists together for a one day symposium, and really looking forward to it. Readers in Dublin and Maynooth should think about heading along, all the logistical details are here.
Should be an interesting day. Click below for the full programme, organised by Geary's Dr. Liam Delaney, who blogs here. Geary is easily the most interesting research centre in Ireland at the moment, their PhD students and researchers are doing topical, interesting work which might actually be relevant to the real world. Obviously it's only a matter of time before an angry mob of fire wielding economists come to burn them out for being reality inclined heretics, but till then, stay tuned, and get the programme below.
