ERINN’s annual conference took place between 3-5 June 2024 at the Warwick in Venice building, the Palazzo Guistinian Lolin.

Economic Research on Identity, Norms, and Narratives (ERINN) is a team of researchers from institutions across the world. The basic premise underpinning the team is that economic activity takes place in social contexts, which structure and co-determine people’s preferences, beliefs, and constraints. The role of this network of researchers is to bring these processes to the forefront of economic analysis.

The team have held annual conferences for the past 7 years, hosting speakers to talk about their world-leading research at institutions such as the Paris School of Economics, LSE and Georgetown University.

This year, we welcomed 12 speakers, 10 members of the core ERINN team, and 10 attendees to the Warwick in Venice building for the first time. The fantastic location of the venue in the heart of Venice, as well as the social experiences organised across different parts of the city, made this conference very popular and memorable for those attending.

The University of Warwick welcomed Professor Tshilidzi Marwala, Rector of the United Nations University, who delivered an insightful address to staff, students and members of the public this week.
