Seminar: Wednesday 18th February Pete Lunn

Dr. Peter Lunn from ESRI Dublin will present on Wednesday at 4pm in Room 2V2. The title is "The Surplus Identification Task: A Psychophysical Approach to Economic Choice". Details of the research lab he runs are below. All welcome.

The Programme of Research Investigating Consumer Evaluations (PRICE) Lab is a three year research programme co-funded by the National Consumer Agency, Commission for Energy Regulation, ComReg, and the Central Bank of Ireland. Starting in January 2013, the programme will develop computerised experiments to explore the limits of consumers’ abilities to value complex products and to choose between them. The aim is to provide evidence for policymakers that may help them to devise policies that support consumers in their efforts to make better decisions in key markets.
