While in summer terms we offer specialized experimental economics seminars, in winter terms this course in lecture format is intended to prepare for the seminars; it is highly recommended for anyone interested in one of the (experimental economics) seminars. Students who have taken part on a regular basis and passed the exam are given priority when seminar places are allocated. Without having taken part on a regular basis, one can still take part in the exam, this would be sufficient for obtaining credits, but not for being given priority. Students who have neither taken part in the course nor taken part in the exam can also apply for seminar places in summer terms as far as they are available.
Topics in this course, which in this semester will be taught by Dr. Christoph Bühren will include: Game Theory for Experimental Economics; History of Experimental Economics, Dos and Don’ts, and Tools of Experimental Economics, Software, Non-Lab-Experiments, Data Analysis, Mathematical Models of Economic Behavior, Global Problems and Experimental Economics, and Paper Writing.
