Election Remark
Ernst Fehr, a Swiss mechanical engineer turned economist, is a globally recognized figure in behavioral economics.

His interdisciplinary approach combines elements of engineering, economics, and psychology to explore human decision-making processes.

Fehr’s research has profoundly influenced our understanding of human behavior in economic contexts, challenging traditional economic models that assume rational self-interest.

His studies on fairness, cooperation, and altruism have had wide-ranging implications, from economic theory to public policy.

In 2022, he was elected as member of the European Academy of Engineering.
