๐ฒ๐ฌ More than 600 university students participated in one of the first experimental sessions at MABEL.
Through an interactive protest experiment, we study how people coordinate, react to inequality, and make collective decisions under uncertainty.
๐Decisions. Policy. Madagascar.
๐ An idea in 2022 has now become reality.
We are proud to introduce MABEL, the University Magis Behavioral Lab in Madagascar, developed in collaboration with LABEL and Loyola Behavioral Lab.
๐ MABEL aims to contribute to better public policy and sustainable development.
