Aims, contents and method of the course
Course description: The principal aim of this course is to enable and help students to develop their own experimental projects that could later actually be run in an experimental lab. For this purpose, the course will provide an introduction to the methods of experimental economics and will consist of two parts. In the first part, methods of experimental economics with an emphasis on principles of economic experiments and experimental design will be discussed. Here the focus will be on a range of experimental design issues and practical advice. Also in the frst part, a number of selected experimental papers will be discussed, again emphasizing method and design. In the second part of the course, students will be asked to present their own experimental projects that they started to develop during the first part of the course and which will be thoroughly discussed in class. At the end of the course/semester, students will have to submit a document describing their experimental projects, providing details on the research question, background / related literature, hypotheses to be tested by the experiment, design of the experiment, sample instructions, and intended methods for data analysis.
