Neuroeconomics

d-cides_neuroeconomics_large Programs in neuroeconomics have been formally supported at Duke since 2005, with the founding of the Center for Neuroeconomic Studies (whose programs have now moved to D-CIDES). Duke is one of the leading institutions for research that applies the techniques of cognitive and systems neuroscience – along with computational modeling – to understand economic decision making and related behavior. Duke’s recent growth at this intersection has been catalyzed by new faculty within Psychiatry, Social Psychology, Systems and Integrative Neuroscience, and Statistics. Neuroeconomic research at Duke is highly collaborative, with frequent cross-campus collaborations and joint mentoring of students.
