Aims:
The module will familiarize you with experiments in economics. It will cover experimental techniques (design, subjects, laboratories, conducting, data analysis) as well as applications (ultimatum bargaining, risk aversion, competitive markets, oligopoly, (social) learning, auctions, labour markets).
Objectives:
After completing the module, you should be able to critically assess experimental designs and results. You will also learn how to use experimental methods yourself and you will get an overview of some of the most important existing results.
