Part of the goal of BEACH is to bring together researchers working in Economics and Computing in the Boston area across disciplines and institutions together. To this end, we hold semesterly workshops called "BEACH Day"s on focused topics in Economics and Computing. See previous and future workshops below. Return home for more details about our calendar, mailing list, researchers, and other resources.
Join us for our first BEACH Day this April 4! Our topic will be Behavioral Models in EconCS at Boston University, organized by Kira Goldner and Divyarthi Mohan. The schedule will include a mixture of hour-long bootcamp-style talks and shorter half-hour talks on recent work. Breakfast and lunch will be served.
Registration is free but required. To ensure we have appropriate space and food, please register as soon as possible at this link, but no later than March 28. (If this deadline is a limiting factor, please contact the organizers.)
