Economic Phenotypes Workshop
On October 14, 2010, the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Division of Behavioral and Social Research (BSR) held a workshop in conjunction with the 2010 Society of Neuroeconomics Meeting in Evanston, Illinois, to explore the use of candidate measures of economic phenotypes derived from both laboratory studies and large-scale surveys that share the goal of understanding the core components of economic behaviors. The purpose of the workshop was to integrate approaches from psychology and neuroeconomics with survey research methods for measuring aging-relevant economic behaviors, traits, and outcomes. A long term goal is the development of a toolkit or battery of tests for measurement of economic phenotypes to enhance the links between laboratory and survey science and provide a foundation for genetic studies of fundamental economic behaviors.
