The mission of the BEworks Research Institute is to bring leaders together to tackle the world’s most pressing behavioral challenges.
The BEworks Research Institute launched in 2021 with the purpose of advancing applied behavioural economics research to support leaders in business, government, and society in solving the most pressing issues of our time.
At the Research Institute, we begin by consulting with industry leaders and member partners to identify the challenges that the society and the economy are facing. Based on these consultations, we conduct primary research studies aimed at answering critical questions and uncovering new insights relevant to the challenges identified.
We believe that equipping business leaders, government officials, and society with evidence-based insights is crucial for a better future. Our research provides valuable perspectives for multiple stakeholders, including firms, policymakers, regulators, consumer groups, and other interested parties. Our approach allows us to conduct more in-depth and rigorous research than any single participant might be able to undertake, and we believe that diverse perspectives strengthen our insights. To ensure our research remains timely and relevant, we convene round-table discussions with key leaders in industry, government, and society. Our research institute is focused on primary research conducted by PhDs with extensive expertise in various domains of behavioral science, economics, and finance. By conducting unbiased and rigorous research, we can deliver credible reports that help reconcile potentially competing perspectives and interests.
