Laboratory:experiments in economics: introduction to conducting applied research using tools of experimental 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
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).
