課程概述

[For details, see: http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~josephw/experimental_spring2009.htm]
This is an upper division and graduate level introductory course on experimental economics. The purpose is to provide a thorough introduction to experimental economics so students can start to perform their own research in this field. You will be expected to write a research proposal by the end of the course. 

課程目標
 Specific goals of this class include:
1.Introduction to experimental economics: After the class, students are expected to name several experiments performed in each fields of economics, and describe how the experimental results affirm (or differ from) economic theory and/or field data.
2. Running an experiment: Students have to run a class experiment, and write a lab report.
3. Experimental design: After the class, students are expected to understand how to design and run an experiment. Students are expected to write a final research proposal that
a. describes a proposed experiment (with a sample instructions for subjects),
b. argues why should we care about this experiment and why the experiment is designed this way (compared to other possible designs), and,
c. states expected results and methods to analyze the data (or simulation results).
4. Evaluate the most current research: After the class, students are expected to develop the ability to read recent journal articles in experimental economics, and evaluate the quality of the papers. During class, students are expected to read assigned journal articles, write one (referee) review report for them, and present the article in class. 
課程要求
 You need to hand in a midterm group laboratory report on one classroom experiment (30%), participate as subjects in others’ experiments (30%) and an individual final research proposal (max 4 pages) (30%). Class presentation of your research proposal is highly recommended and earns extra credit. Each group will also have to review a journal article, write a referee report and present the article in class (10%).
