19th Annual Workshop
ANZWEE 2026 — Dunedin, New Zealand
ANZWEE 2026 is hosted by the Department of Economics in the Otago Business School at the University of Otago — Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka. Founded in 1869, Otago is New Zealand's oldest university.
About the Workshop
The annual Australia New Zealand Workshop on Experimental Economics (ANZWEE) aims to provide researchers interested in experimental and behavioural economics with an opportunity to present their latest research, receive constructive feedback in an informal environment, and network with other researchers.
ANZWEE 2026 is the 19th edition of the workshop, held in Dunedin and hosted by the Department of Economics in the University of Otago's Otago Business School. We welcome submissions from researchers at all career stages working in experimental and behavioural economics.
Important Dates
Schedule
The workshop runs across two rooms in parallel on Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 November 2026, with 41 papers in fifteen themed sessions and a keynote each afternoon. Each paper has 17 minutes to present and 3 for comments. All presenters are invited to the workshop dinner at Ombrellos on the Monday evening, and lunch is provided for presenters on both days.

With the workshop moving to Dunedin, the previously advertised Central Otago activities (the Rob Roy Glacier hike and Gibbston Valley wine tasting) will no longer run. We may organise optional social activities in and around Dunedin once the new dates and programme are confirmed — any plans will be posted here and circulated to registered participants.
Where We Meet
Beyond the Workshop
Dunedin — Ōtepoti — sits at the head of a long harbour on New Zealand's southeast coast, with the University at its centre and wild coastline a short drive away. If you are able to extend your stay, there is a great deal worth seeing within half an hour of campus.
New Zealand's oldest botanic garden, founded in 1863, and a ten-minute walk from campus. Twenty-eight hectares of rose gardens, native bush, an aviary and a rhododendron dell.
A volcanic finger of land reaching into the Pacific, known for albatross, sea lions and yellow-eyed penguins, plus dramatic clifftop walks at Sandymount and Lovers Leap.
The harbour runs 20 km from the city out to Taiaroa Head. The road along either shore makes for a memorable drive, with Port Chalmers and its cafés partway along.
A 307-hectare valley of coastal Otago forest 20 km north of the city, ringed by a 9 km predator-resistant fence. Home to takahē, kākā, kiwi, tuatara and Otago skinks.
George Troup's Flemish Renaissance landmark of 1906 — the extravagance of which earned him the nickname “Gingerbread George” — and among the most photographed buildings in New Zealand.
The Otago Peninsula Eco Restoration Alliance — formerly Penguin Place — runs guided tours of its reserve for the endangered yellow-eyed penguin, hoiho. Tour fees fund the conservation work.
