ECON 430: Experimental Economics

Economics · 4 credits

This course introduces experiments as a tool in economic analysis. The course will examine experimental methodology and provide a first exposure to various experimental results. The course will stress the interaction of theory and experiment, seeking to relate questions in the theory of markets, games, and decisions to issues in experimental design and the analysis and interpretation of those results.

Offered in 6 of the 26 listed terms (Spring 2021 to Spring 2027).
