What's on offer?

An online presentation, with Q&A.  

What's it about?

Are men more dishonest than women? Or is that just another stereotype? How does this impact our working lives? Join us for a thought-provoking presentation by Professor Johannes Abeler (Department of Economics) as we dive into the science of lying - where human psychology, morality, and economics collide.

This talk explores real experiments involving thousands of people across the globe, revealing how we balance money, truth, and reputation when no one is watching. If you're curious about behavioural economics or just want to settle the age-old debate between the sexes, this is one talk you won’t want to miss.

Professor Johannes Abeler, University of Oxford
