The 3rd CeDEx China Workshop on Behavioural and Experimental Economics concluded successfully at the University of Nottingham Ningbo China on June 8-9, 2024. Organised by the Centre of Decision and Experimental Economics China (CeDEx China) at UNNC's School of Economics, the workshop brought together scholars and lab leaders from renowned universities worldwide to exchange their latest research findings and experiences in managing experimental labs.

Keynote speakers Professor Jie Zheng from Shandong University and Associate Professor Tom Lane from Newcastle University delivered insightful speeches titled “Human (In)Compliance to Extortions: Algorithm Awareness Matters” and “Discrimination: Experimental Findings and Directions,” respectively. Scholars from institutions such as Shandong University, Newcastle University, Sun Yat-sen University, Wuhan University, Tsinghua University, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Duke Kunshan University, National University Singapore, and Dongbei University of Finance and Economics presented their research across sessions covering topics including “Field Experiment,” “Biases and Perceptions,” “Behavioural Theory,” “Choice and Cooperation,” and “Reputation and Beliefs.” UNNC faculty members, PhD students, and participants from CeDEx Summer School Programme actively engaged in discussions, enriching the exchange of ideas.

The CeDEx China Workshop is an annual event hosted by the Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics China (CeDEx China), dedicated to advancing both theoretical and applied contributions in behavioural and experimental economics. It addresses diverse themes such as theoretical and empirical insights into human behavior, applications of economics experiments in various sectors, and interdisciplinary research integrating AI, big data, and machine learning. Established in 2019, the workshop has rapidly gained prominence in Zhejiang Province, becoming the largest and most influential gathering in its field. It attracts top experimental economists from leading universities across China, underscoring its status as a pivotal event for advancing experimental economics in mainland China.

Looking ahead, the 4th workshop plans to invite leading research scholars to present their latest work. Researchers and students from China and beyond are invited to participate in this valuable platform for interdisciplinary collaboration in research, education, and project development.
