The Social, Behavioral and Experimental Economics seminar series brings together a community of economics scholars from three units at the University of Michigan — the School of Information, the Department of Economics and the Ross Business School — whose research aims to broaden the understanding of the social, economic and political consequences of real-life decisions and behaviors.

Top researchers from around the globe come to Michigan to present their work at the SBEE seminar series, exploring the intersection of economics, psychology, computer science and information science.

The seminar series is organized by U-M faculty members Yan Chen (UMSI), Alain Cohn (UMSI), Erin Krupka (UMSI), Steve Leider (Ross), Christine Exley (Econ), Yesim Orhun (Ross), Tanya Rosenblat (UMSI), and Basit Zafar (Econ). Todd Stuart serves as seminar coordinator. 

Topics and abstracts will be announced on the UMSI website closer to each event.
