Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar introduces experimental design and the statistical analysis of experimental data. In the first part, we will discuss the usefulness of experiments for both testing theories and finding stylized facts about human behaviour. We will explore different research designs and elaborate on various criteria of validity underlying conclusions about social mechanisms and about their applicability to a wider set of situations. Furthermore, we will look into incentives, in particular induced preferences and social preference, and causes of noise in the data. Finally, we will address some issues relating to deception in experimentation. A workshop on z-Tree closes the first part of the course. Participants are expected to work out an own experiment during the first part of the course and to present the design at the end of this phase.
