Topic: Experimental economics

	CEEE
		Essentially, economics is taught as a theory of something that (generally) works in practice to students who wonder whether the theory is what is really working in practice.
		Economic experiments are an attempt to reintroduce human behavior to economics and assure the student that the theory of what we're teaching does appear to be at work in practice.
		Experimental economics connects the theory that summarizes our observations on exchange to the everyday experience of the student.

	Experimental economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Experimental economics is the use of experimental methods to evaluate theoretical predictions of economic behaviour.
		An embranchment of Experimental economics is Experimental finance, which is the application of Experimental economics in financial markets.
		Specifically, economics experiments are often challenged because of concerns about their "internal validity" and "external validity", for example, that they are not applicable models for many types of economic behaviour, so the experiments simply aren't good enough to produce useful answers.

	Experimental Economics 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Economics has a strong theoretical side with many models, explanations and predictions (some of the models lead to conflicting predictions).
		Many economic models are quite general, for example a market model might apply to 10 buyers and 10 sellers as well as 10,000 buyers and 10,000 sellers.
		In the last two decades economics has rapidly developed, and now there are thousands of experiments and studies on economic theories and hypotheses.

		It was thought economics was limited to studying observations drawn from the uncontrolled complexities of human and social behavior; it was not possible to perform the controlled experiments of the chemist or biologist.
		Economics has undergone a a scientific revolution that has increased the power and influence of the discipline, and other social sciences are following.
		A well-established finding in experimental economics is that institutions matter because the rules matter, and the rules matter because incentives matter.

		One fundamental concept in experimental economics is the idea of testing postulates that are often taken as given in economics, such as individual preferences, and how and why humans turn those preferences into market exchange.
		Experimental economics also enables testing of the extent to which we behave in accordance with neoclassical economic assumptions.
		Experimental methodology improves upon standard economics in reflecting tacit knowledge -- when we make choices, including social interaction choices like market exchange, we are not always conscious of all of the information that we bring to bear in making them.

	Contingent Valuation, Hypothetical Bias, and Experimental Economics Agricultural and Resource Economics Review - Find ...
		Economists have had mixed success in developing techniques designed to control for this "hypothetical bias." This paper highlights the role of experimental economics in addressing hypothetical bias, and identifies a gap in the existing literature by focusing on the underlying causes of this bias.
		Some researchers have expressed concern that this lack of a consequential economic commitment in CV surveys often leads to hypothetical bias in which economic values are overstated.
		Experimental research has a well-established framework which was widely recognized when Vernon Smith became a co-recipient of the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics "for having established laboratory experiments as a tool in empirical economic analysis." What distinguishes experiments from other empirical techniques are control and replication.

	Behavioral finance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economics Nobel Laureate Daniel Kahneman, was an important figure in the development of behavioral finance and economics and continues to write extensively in the field.
		Behavioral finance and behavioral economics are closely related fields which apply scientific research on human and social cognitive and emotional biases to better understand economic decisions and how they affect market prices, returns and the allocation of resources.
		Models in behavioral economics are typically addressed to a particular observed market anomaly and modify standard neo-classical models by describing decision makers as using heuristics and being affected by framing effects.

		At Caltech experimental economics is one of the courses that satisfies the Institute laboratory course requirements for undergraduates.
		In economics his work with Vernon Smith led to the discovery of the "posted price effect" and to the measurement of efficiency in experimental markets, both of which are central to the foundations of policy related experimental work on market institutions.
		The research in economics has continued to b e the first in the opening of new basic scientific issues including externalities in markets, the nature of information aggregation in markets, market stability, the operations of multiple markets including general equilibrium, international trade, inter n ational finance and macro-economics.

		This is a recommendable introduction to experimental economics which demonstrates the experimental method of data collection and also presents some of its major findings....
		On top of that, experimental economics is relatively unpopular, despite its breakthrough in the last two decades, and is taught in very few select doctoral programs in the United States, ignored pretty much everywhere else.
		In this respect, experimental economics is virtually the only tool to test the logically valid economic and psychological theories conceived outside the experimental field, as it should be.

	The Prize in Economics 2002 - Press Release
		Economics has also been widely considered a non-experimental science, relying on observation of real-world economies rather than controlled laboratory experiments.
		Nowadays, however, a growing body of research is devoted to modifying and testing basic economic assumptions; moreover, economic research relies increasingly on data collected in the lab rather than in the field.
		In his own experimental work, he has demonstrated the importance of alternative market institutions, e.g., how the revenue expected by a seller depends on the choice of auction method.

	George Mason’s Experimental Economics Center Is Leader in Field -- Mason Gazette
		When a team of seven distinguished economics professors from the University of Arizona joined George Mason’s faculty last year, many were reminded of James Buchanan who won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Economics.
		The main focus of the group’s work in experimental economics is to use the lab to study markets, such as the New York Stock Exchange.
		“Experimental economics has leaped to the frontier of modern economic science and is commonly considered the most important recent development in the profession,” says Tyler Cowen, executive director of the Mercatus Center and associate professor of economics.

	Graduate - Experimental Economics - 208006 - John Hey
		Note that there will be an Experimental Economics Seminar this week on Thursday the 23rd of November 2000, from 4.15 pm to 5.45 pm in the EXEC laboratory in Derwent D block room 203.
		The aims of this module are to introduce you to the methodology, philosophy and practice of Experimental Economics.
		Its learning objectives are to get you to be able to criticise constructively the experimental work of others and to carry out your own experimental work yourself, whilst at the same time getting some knowledge of what experimental work has been done by others and the contribution of that work to the science of economics.

	Neuroeconomics at Caltech
		Neuroeconomics is a branch of "behavioral economics." Behavioral economics uses facts and ideas from social sciences that are neighbors of economics (psychology, sociology, anthropology) to show how willpower, concern for other people, limits on calculating ability, and biology influence economic behavior.
		Neuroeconomics is also a new kind of "experimental economics." In experimental economics, we create simple bargaining games and markets, with economic motivation, to test theories and establish what variables cause economic outcomes.
		Neuroeconomics expands experimental economics by measuring biological and neural processes as people choose, bargain, and trade.
