Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
Behavioral and Experimental Economics is a vibrant field of research which sheds new light on many old and important issues in economics. The field is rapidly growing, best practice standards evolve and new methods are developed.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab
The purpose of the seminar is to critically discuss new developments in Behavioral and Experimental Economics in a SMALL group of ADVANCED students. The course educates students to become critical consumers of current research in behavioral and experimental economics and aims at inspiring students for their own research projects.
Prüfungsstoff
Method and organization of the course:
I propose readings on selected topics (see below). In the first session, I briefly present the papers. Each student selects one (or two) papers on which s/he acts as a pole of competence. We determine the reading list in the first (and if necessary in the second) session. It is therefore imperative to participate in the first and the second session. Students who cannot (for a good reason) participate in the first two sessions should send me an e-mail naming at least three papers from the reading list which they are committed to present one week before the first session.
Classroom discussion is organized as follows: The pole of competence provides a concise presentation of the paper (15-20). We then discuss questions of technical detail as well as questions on context and interpretation. If time permits, we go through paper page by page (or line by line where necessary).
A successful pole of competence is able to summarize each section/paragraph in his or her own words at any time during the discussion, guides the discussion and is able to answer most questions. Competent navigation is particularly important when discussing long articles (e.g. surveys).
Participants are expected to read all papers, prepare questions and to contribute their own thoughts and views on the paper. Bring your annotated copy of the paper. Active participation is essential. Critical thought, controversy and debate is welcome (once we are clear about what the paper says).Requirements: Participants need to have taken a class providing an introduction into the field, for example my lecture Behavioral and Experimental Economics (UK 040832). Students with comparable backgrounds can also be admitted but need to provide evidence that their knowledge is comparable (provide handout and grade of classes taken elsewhere). In addition, a sound knowledge of microeconomics and game theory is required.Successful completion of this course earns students 8 ECTS credits.
