Behavioral Insights Network
LACEA BRAIN (Behavioral Insights Network) aims to unite efforts by Latin American and Caribbean economists to promote rigorous research using behavioral insights tools and collaborating with peers from across the globe. The network’s goal is to highlight state-of-the-art research techniques to advance knowledge on behavioral economics. It also aims to build bridges and cultivate feedback between the policy world and academia, while consolidating data and experiences from interventions across the region.
The network holds annual meetings showcasing cutting-edge research from its field. It also shares experiences through its website and dissemination channels, while connecting policymakers with a broad range of researchers. Members of the network are actively encouraged to send their best work to LACEA’s journal, Economía.
