390005 SE PhD-VCEE: Seminar in Experimental Economics (2018S)
Continuous assessment of course work
Labels
As this course is based on the research seminar of the Vienna Center for Experimental Economics (VCEE) which will be attended by researchers from universities located in Vienna, the number of students that can be admitted for grade and ECTS points purposes is limited.To register for the course, please send a short E-mail to Univ.-Prof. Dr. Wieland Müller at wieland.mueller@univie.ac.at and mention your prior knowledge/exposure to experimental economics and game theory. Again, in accordance with this being a research seminar, preference will be given to PhD students. Note that this seminar is planned to be offered every semester. So in case a student is not admitted for a given semester, a new application will be considered in the next seminar.

The goal of this course is to (a) expose students to the frontier of research in the field of experimental economics, (b) teach students the use of experimental methods to understand and answer economic research questions, and (c) show students how to present research results.
Assessment and permitted materials
Grading will be based on regular attendance, activity during the seminar, and some summaries of the presentations during the seminar. Details will be provided during the first meeting and in the course syllabus.
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students planning to attend this course should have solid prior knowledge of game theory and experimental economics.To successfully pass the course, students have to regularly attend the seminar, be active during the seminar, and write some summaries of the presentations during the seminar.
