What it covers
This unit offers an introduction to experimental economics, its methods, applications, and scope to understand and affect everyday behaviour. Economic experiments have become a popular tool to test economic theory and to understand the causes for individual decisions, social decisions, and behaviours in markets. In this unit we provide examples on how economic experiments are useful to advance theory and predict economic decision-making. In addition, we provide you with the knowledge on how to design, conduct, and apply economic experiments.
