Description: Laboratory techniques are valuable for answering research questions which defy traditional empirical analysis due to lack of field data. Examples include proposed regulations, new market designs and tests of theory. The goal of this course is two-fold: to develop skills in experimental methods appropriate for economics and related fields and to familiarize students with the results of experimental tests of economic theory. Requirement: Graduate or honors undergraduate, major standing, and permission of the departmental director of graduate study or course instructor.
