Goal and target audience:
This course is for students on the master or doctoral levels who are interested in economic experiments and behavioral economics. Bertil Tungodden will talk about his novel experimental approach to the analysis of the moral mind and inequality acceptance. Yiming Liu will cover the experimental method and studies on beliefs, including the Bayesian updating framework and the documented deviations from it.
The course will also enable you to decide whether a laboratory experiment is appropriate to address some research questions, how to design an economic experiment, and how to find interesting research questions in behavioral economics.
