Course description

Experimental economics is concerned with how people make real world decisions. It is also concerned with how businesses, organisations, teams, markets and other institutions work as a result of decisions made by real people. It employs laboratory or field experiments to find out whether or not real people actually behave in the way economic theory predicts, and if not why not and why this matters for policy makers and managers. This course will examine a number of topics in economics using experimental methods.
