Professor Liam Delaney to take up AIB Chair of Behavioural Economics
The School of Economics and College of Social Sciences and Law are pleased to announce that Professor Liam Delaney, currently at the University of Stirling, will be joining us as AIB Professor of Behavioural Economics in January. This new post, funded by Allied Irish Banks, will promote the teaching of behavioural economics at UCD and contribute to a new research programme in this area. Liam’s research spans a wide range of interdisciplinary topics including the relationship between mental health and economic outcomes, how people make decisions over different time horizons, and the life-course determinants of decision making. We look forward to welcoming Liam in January and anticipate that his recruitment will provide a boost to research and teaching across a wide range of areas at UCD.
