Behavioral economics LAB at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration is equipped with 40 data collection terminals which are used to perform experiments related to behavioral economics. Such infrastructure opens up future perspectives for current researchers of the faculty and sets the foundation to reach higher scientific achievements.
Consumer decision-making LAB
The faculty has established one of the most advanced consumer decision-related behavior laboratories in Northern Europe. The lab is equiped with 12 cubicles to perform experiments and the world's most advanced hardware and software solutions, necessary for data collection and analysis. The main aim of the Consumer decision-making Lab is to strengthen the research infrastructure and enhance the capabilities for publishing high-quality research. The Consumer decision-making Lab will provide a platform for developing ideas and running real behavior-based experiments within EVAF.
