THE SABE NEWSLETTER THE SOCIETY FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS Statement of Purpose SABE is an association of scholars who are committed to rigorous economic analysis and are interested in learning how other disciplines – for example, psychology, sociology, anthropology, history, political science, and biology - further our understanding of economic behavior. An important function of SABE is to serve as a forum for research which may not find either comprehension or acceptance in conventional economics societies. SABE also aims at facilitating communication between economists and scholars trained in related disciplines.

Experimental Economics Workshop) University of San Francisco, May 4 2013 Report by: John Ifcher and Alessandra Cassar (BABEEW 2013 Organizers) The Bay Area Behavioral and Experimental Economics Workshop (BABEEW) was held on May 4th, 2013, at University of San Francisco (USF). Fifty scholars participated in the workshop and 35 presented their research. The goal of the workshop was to create a welcoming scholarly environment in which behavioral and experimental economists from the Bay Area and beyond could share their research and ideas. Scholars came from Bay Area institutions (including Berkeley, Davis, Santa Clara University, UC- Santa Cruz, University of San Francisco, and Stanford) as well as many other institutions (including Florida State University, UC-San Diego, UC-Irvine, UCLA, University of Hawaii, and University 3 of Virginia). There were five parallel sessions in which 35 papers were presented. Session titles included: Games and Auctions, Intertemporal Choice, Social Preferences, Field Experiment, Beliefs and Biases, Social Networks, voting and Insurance, Information, Bargaining and Contracts, and Gender. There was also a well-attended workshop dinner. The workshop would not have been possible without the generous support of the International Association for Research in Economic Psychology (IAREP), the Society for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics (SABE), the International Confederation for the Advancement of Behavioral Economics and Economic Psychology (ICABEEP), the University of San Francicso, and the Leavey School of Business at Santa Clara University. Our thanks go out to these funders as well as to the scientific committee (including Alessandra Cassar, Dan Friedman, John Ifcher, Linda Kamas, and Charles Sprenger). Next year’s workshop is already in the works. It will likely take place around the same time (first weekend of May). The location will be Stanford University. | Back to: Table of Contents [email protected] – www.sabeonline.org Vol. 20, No. 2 SABE Session in WEAI (Western Economic Association International) Conference Grand Hyatt Seattle, June 28 – July 2 2013 Report by: John Ifcher (SABE Session Organizer and Chair) The 88th Annual conference of the Western Economic Association International (WEAI) took place in Seattle, Washington from June 28 to July 2, 2013.
