Culture
Keynote Speakers: Paola Sapienza & Charles Efferson
Humans are particularly good at developing culture, distinguishing their groups through shared beliefs, preferences, and behaviors. Despite the diversity of cultural groups at various levels—including nations, linguistic communities, and organizations—the foundational mechanisms by which distinct cultures emerge and persist are often similar. We invite experimental and theoretical contributions from economics, other social and behavioral sciences, as well as from biology that shed light on the mechanisms of cultural evolution and the resulting variations in beliefs, preferences, and behaviors across groups.
