Abstract:
How does technology affect behaviour? Beyond the research on how technological progress affects large-scale trends like inequality, the labour market, and occupational segregation, recent interest has emerged about its impact on individual behaviour. This includes decisions related to educational investment and migration, as well as to preferences, beliefs, biases, political views, and inter-group attitudes. This year’s theem aims to bring together researchers working in this area with a focus on the use of experimental approaches. Topics of interest are broad and include technology adoption, digitisation, smart devices, virtual workplaces, workplace automation, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, and robots. We welcome contributions from economics as well as other disciplines like psychology, political science, sociology, management, law, and computer science.
