Expermental Economics

The purpose of this course is to provide students with practical knowledge on conducting research in behavioral and experimental economics. The main objective is to introduce students to the methodology of experimental economics, expose them to original research papers in behavioral and experimental economics, and teach them how to design, conduct, and evaluate their own economic experiments.

By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Read and comprehend original research papers published in international economics journals.
- Evaluate original research conducted by scholars in experimental and behavioral economics.
- Develop their own relevant research questions in experimental and behavioral economics.
- Design their own economic experiments to address these research questions.
- Analyze experimental economics data using non-parametric tools.
Furthermore, students will enhance their communication and presentation skills through two presentations. The first presentation will involve analyzing an assigned original research paper (presented individually by each student), while the second presentation will focus on their own research idea (prepared and presented in groups).
