The experimental laboratory enables the individual economic behaviour of people in a controlled environment of choice to be studied.
This type of approach offers a complementary research methodology to that based on field surveys because it allows the precise study of the influence of those factors that, although influencing the responses of subjects, are not easily controlled outside a laboratory.
As well as basic research, at LES applied research can be conducted in collaboration with businesses and institutions and the data gathered through traditional methods can be integrated.
Director: Caterina Giannetti

The Working Group on Generalised Convexity (WGGC) was founded during the 15th conference on Mathematical Programming at Ann Arbor (Michigan, U.S.A.) in August 1994. It is an interdisciplinary group of scholars from different disciplines such as operations research, economics, engineering, applied sciences, mathematics and statistics. The group’s research topics of interest are related to the study of the so-called generalised convexity properties and their applications in the economic-financial and business sectors. The research group has 455 active members across 52 different countries.
