ECN 395-01 - Special Topic: Behavioral & Experimental Economics

4 credits (Fall)

This course is an introduction to methods in experimental economics as applied to specific topics such as trust and cooperation, public goods, social preferences and auctions. Where possible, we will follow a series of experiments to illustrate how experiments build on one another to give clearer answers. While the focus will be on laboratory and field experiments, our discussions on the findings and implications will also serve to highlight important topics in behavioral economics.
