Course description: This course in Experimental Economics will look at what
economic theory has to say about economic choices and strategic interactions and
what people actually do when faced with strategic decisions. We will conduct a
large number of in-class and online experiments in order to either
identify systematic deviations or to confirm theoretical predictions.
Beginning with the history and purposes of experimental economics, this
course will cover the latest methods and survey existing experimental
research. Most importantly, this course will teach students how to set
up an economic experiment.
