Average Course Rating

This course will be an introduction to the methodology of experimental economics and its application to specific topics, such as bargaining, provision of public goods, decision making under uncertainty, and auctions. In addition to learning about laboratory and field experiments, this course will also provide an introduction to the behavioral economics as a relatively new direction in economics. An effort will be made to concentrate on series of experiments, in order to see how experiments build on one another and allow researchers with different theoretical dispositions to narrow the range of potential disagreement.
