Lab Square (Lab²) is an initiative dedicated to advancing behavioral and experimental economics through collaborative, reproducible, and large-scale research. By employing crowd-science methodologies such as many-lab and many-design studies, it addresses key challenges in replicability and robustness within social sciences.

The initiative prioritizes transparency by incorporating pre-registrations, pre-analysis plans, and open data sharing to ensure credible and applicable findings. Lab² fosters interdisciplinary collaborations, connecting economics, psychology, and related fields, while expanding its reach to include diverse populations and research contexts globally.

This talk will outline the mission and research activities of Lab², highlighting ongoing projects and its contribution to enhancing the reliability and impact of social science research.
