We invite undergraduates who have completed term papers or theses related to decision processes and/or choice to submit their paper for consideration for the Wharton School Decision Processes Paper Award. Applications from all decision processes related disciplines (including behavioral decision research, behavioral and social psychology, behavioral economics, and decision making) are welcome, as are applications from undergraduate students from all universities (both those within the United States and those abroad).
