The Russell Sage Behavioral Economics Roundtable supports a small grants research program to support high quality research in behavioral economics and to encourage young investigators to enter this developing field. There are no limitations on the disciplinary background of the principal investigator, and the proposed research may address any economic topic.
Interdisciplinary efforts are welcome.
Behavioral approaches will be construed broadly to include any research that explores the economic implications of the principles underlying observable human behavior. This program will be administered under the auspices of the Behavioral Economics Roundtable, a group of researchers in behavioral economics formed by the Russell Sage Foundation to encourage policy-relevant research in behavioral economics. The Roundtable is one of several current initiatives in the Behavioral Economics research program, which was developed in collaboration with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and is now supported exclusively by Russell Sage. The maximum length for the text of a proposal is 1,000 words, excluding budget and bibliography. Proposals should outline briefly the basic rationale of the research, the question under study and the methods and analytic approach to be employed.
