Ongoing project "Strategic behavior under uncertainty"
The goal of this project is to analyze the behavior of economic agents (individuals and firms) in settings involving uncertainty and to determine the factors causing undesirable behavior or undesirable market outcomes. Applying economic modeling, behavioral theories, and experimental economics techniques should shed light on various processes involving strategic elements and aim in identifying ways to improve economic processes and mechanisms. On the level of individuals, we are going to analyze cases such as cryptocurrency trading. On the level of firms, we are going to analyze environments such as competition through innovation (R&D).

ICEF Academia Welcomes New Students
Alongside their core curriculum many ICEF students pursue a programme in which they deepen knowledge of their chosen field, engage in scientific debate, and prepare for careers in academia. This programme is known as ICEF Academia and in 2024 it opened its doors to a new group of students.
Earlier in October, the team of ICEF Academia met with its new students to present the teachers, the perspective lines of research, as well as the design and delivery mode of the courses and what rewards there are to celebrate the top-performing students.
