Over the last three decades economists have extensively used experiments to test the validity of several economic theories, study the effectiveness of policy tools and to explore distinct aspects of human behavior. If you take this course you will learn about experimental economics and its methodology, and acquire knowledge about most influential and latest advancements in this field. By the end of the course you will also be able to design an economic experiment.
Basic knowledge of microeconomics is essential.
