Warwick is known for its expertise and diversity in this area. We are currently working on a range of projects which are highlighted in more detail on the Knowledge Centre. For example:

The Economics and Psychology of Time

Do humans want results now or are we prepared to delay our gratifications until later? Does the way we describe time affect our decisions and choices? These are two questions Professor Daniel Read, Warwick Business School, covered in his recent lecture about his economics and psychology of time preference research.

Should Government Maximise Happiness?

Distinguished Professor of Behavioural Science, Bruno Frey delivers the first in a series of Inaugural Lectures by professors recently appointed at WBS, with his lecture: Should Government Maximise Happiness? Professor Frey's main research interests are in the application of economics in non-economic fields, for example the economic theory of politics and international political economy, the environment, family, conflict, history and art; and theory of economic policy.
