PhD seminar: Experimental Economics
This seminar is open for PhD candidates and post docs.
Instructor: | Dr. Andreas Ostermaier |
Language: | English |
Participants: | max. 24 |
Objective
This course is for researchers on the doctoral or post-doctoral levels who are beginners in economic laboratory experiments. It will enable you to
- decide whether a laboratory experiment is appropriate to address some research question;
- find research questions in your area of interest that a laboratory experiment can address;
- develop an experimental design to address such a research question.
In addition, the course will offer you hands-on training on how to bring experiments to the laboratory. It will cover common practical issues, such as which software to use, how to recruit participants, or how to conduct an experiment.
The course will be most beneficial for you if you plan to run your own experiment soon. If you consider using experimenTUM, TUM’s laboratory for experimental research in economics, you are strongly encouraged to take it.
