EF2020 Summer School, University of Innsbruck

We are sorry to inform you that due to the Covid-19 situation, we have to cancel this year's Experimental Finance Summer School and postpone it to June 14-15 2021 in Innsbruck. However, we are very happy that all of our speakers, i.e. Mark DeSantis, Felix Holzmeister, Stefan Nagel, and Sebastien Pouget, have agreed to give their lecturs at the summer school next year. We hope to welcome you in Innsbruck in 2021!

The University of Innsbruck’s Department of Banking and Finance and the Society for Experimental Finance (SEF) would like you to invite you to the Experimental Finance Summer School 2020. The summer school will be held at Austria Trend Hotel Congress Innsbruck (Austria) on the two days preceeding the Experimental Finance conference.

The goal of the summer school is to deepen students’ understanding and knowledge of the field of experimental finance. Students are also invited to attend the Experimental Finance Conference from June 10-12 at the same venue.

While all are welcome, the summer school targets the following groups:

- Young scholars from finance and economics departments who belong to a non-experimental research group at their University, but are interested in pursuing research in Experimental Finance.

- Young scholars from finance and economics departments that are embedded in an experimental group but want to improve their experimental skills and get an overview over some of the main fields in a systematic way.
