MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) July 06, 2023 - In the 2023 AAEA Annual Meeting track session (sponsored by AAEA Experimental Economics section and AAEAFood Safety and Nutrition section) Advances in Behavioral and Experimental Economics in Applied and Agricultural Economics the authors highlights recent trends and advances in behavioral and experimental economics for applied and agricultural economists. Methodological contributions, theoretical advancements, and behavioral frameworks are presented making use of a variety of experimental settings, such as, lab and field experiments. Among others, one presentation demonstrates the external validity of previously documented phenomena showing a novel certainty effect for preference reversals and finding that reversals persist at higher stakes and among experts (US agricultural producers). Another study shows how meditation can lower individuals cortisol levels and subsequently foster healthy food choices. Presenters also compare experimental findings from a non-representative in-person field experiment to a nationally representative online counterpart in the context of making food purchases; while others evaluate ex-ante effects of nutrition labeling with a lab experiment mimicking a store environment. Finally, several studies use behavioral concepts to explain choice behavior.
