briq is a research platform seeking to advance innovative thinking about the sources and consequences of inequality while pushing the frontiers of behavioral economics research.
briq’s activities are based on three pillars: (1) conducting and facilitating excellent international research, (2) promoting talented young scholars at the start of their careers, (3) communicating research findings to enrich public debates with scientific insights.
We bring young talent together with innovative researchers and cross-disciplinary experts from around the world to enhance our understanding of inequality, human capital, labor markets, and behavioral economics. Our research team is led by Armin Falk, Botond Kőszegi and Florian Zimmermann.
Academic research at an internationally oriented institute like briq strongly relies on the personal exchange of thoughts and ideas. After two years of pandemic-related travel and workplace restrictions, we are happy to welcome visiting scholars again this year (see currently scheduled visits).
