On April 10-12, 2014, 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:

.   Prof. Nick Chater, Professor of Behavioural Science, Warwick Business School

.   Prof. Kosuke Imai, Professor of Political Science, Princeton University

.   Prof. George Loewenstein, Professor of Economics and Psychology, Carnegie Mellon University

.   Prof. Arnout van de Rijt, Professor of Sociology, Stony Brook University

.   Prof. Paul A. M. Van Lange. Professor of Social Psychology, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam

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, and psychology are encouraged. The deadline for submitting papers is February 22, 2014. More details and paper submission information is available at the following conference web site: http://cess-web.nuff.ox.ac.uk/imebess/
