Course Description:
This course will introduce students to the theory of experimental games and the practice of experimental economics. Students will compare various game theoretical predictions with the actual behavior of players in the laboratory setting. Through experimentation, we will study the adaptation processes and learning that players exhibit in competitive strategic interactions, and the rationale behind traits such as reciprocity, fairness, trust, and altruism considered to be irrational by traditional theory.
