Experimental Economics
Alvin E. Roth
HBS 4160 / Econ 2040
This course provides an introduction to experimental economics, its methods, and some of the major subject areas that have been addressed by laboratory experiments. Effort is made to concentrate on a series of experiments, in order to see how experiments build on one another and allow researches with different theoretical dispositions to narrow the ranges of potential disagreement.
Note: Open to 2nd years graduate students in economics and also to Harvard Business School students. Others welcome to attend with permission of instructor.
