  Experimental economics provides economists with an alternative to the traditional methods used in economic research. Researchers use experimental methods to answer questions when, for example, appropriate field data does not readily exists or data are highly incomplete. While a researcher is at the mercy of the coded dataset using traditional research methods, experimental economics provides researchers with the freedom and control to (at least in principle) determine each detail of the research design. Topics to be covered in this course include what constitutes a research question that requires and/or would benefit from the use of experimental methods, optimal experimental design choices, ethical considerations when collecting data from human subjects, and data collection and analysis. In this course, students will design, carry-out, and evaluate an experiment to answer a research question of their choosing.
