ECON-484 Experimental and Behavioral Economics

This course introduces students to economic inquiry using experimental methodologies. Experimental economics is a relatively new field in which decision making is examined in a controlled laboratory setting. The data from these experiments are used to evaluate theories as well as to test and fine tune policies that could not be easily tested with naturally-occurring data. Students will learn how to combine theories from behavioral economics and experimental methodologies to help them answer the economic questions they want to research.
