Words from the Director 

2025 has been a year of scientific achievement, strong collaboration, and continued growth at FAIR. Our research community has continued to expand its reach, strengthen partnerships, and advance knowledge on fairness, inequality, and rationality. 

FAIR researchers have published in leading international journals such as the American Economic Review, the Journal of Political Economy, and many other highly relevant outlets. These studies span topics including mental health, school choice, gender gaps, intergenerational mobility, and moral decision-making, and they deepen our understanding of economic behaviour while helping to inform policy and public debate on how to address inequality in society. 

We are also proud to have hosted a number of important conferences and workshops in labour economics, behavioural economics, and development economics. Collaboration is central to FAIR’s success, and our many visitors have contributed greatly to strengthening FAIR’s position as a leading research hub in Europe for studies on fairness, inequality, and rationality. Our community has also grown stronger through continued collaborations with international researchers and institutions, bringing valuable expertise and new perspectives to FAIR. 

Our outreach activities continued to expand in 2025, reflecting the growing visibility and relevance of FAIR’s research beyond academia. We remain deeply committed to promoting diversity and inclusion, and to maintaining an open, engaging, and supportive research environment. 

As we look ahead, we do so with energy and optimism. With new grants, new talents, and new questions to explore, FAIR is well-positioned to continue producing high-impact research in 2026 and the years ahead.

Bertil Tungodden  Director, Centre for Experimental Research on Fairness, Inequality and Rationality (FAIR)
