課程概述

This is an English topics course in experimental economics at the upper division and graduate level, focusing on replications. The purpose is to choose one particular research paper in experimental economics and replicate it. At the end of the course, you are expected to submit a replication report in groups of two. 

課程目標
Specific course goals include:
1. Present Contemporary Research: Students are expected to develop the ability to read recent journal articles or working papers, evaluate their quality, present the paper they will replicate (in groups of two), and provide feedback for other groups.
2. Design Replication Experiment: Students are to design replication experiments (to be run online or at TASSEL, subject to funding), write up the pre-analysis plan and pre-register it online, say at Open Science Framework. If the experiments will be run at TASSEL, students will have to be trained as experimenters to conduct it.
3. Complete Replication Report: After the experiment is carried out, students will write a replication report as the final project and peer review each other’s report.  
課程要求
You need basic knowledge on experimental economics, such as those learned from Experimental Economics I: Behavioral Game Theory. If you have not taken that course, you will have to either take it concurrently, or pick things up yourself by watching NTU OCW or reading Camerer (2003), “Behavioral Game Theory,” Princeton University Press.

Feedback should be uploaded to NTU COOL, so we can send them to the presenters. Consult the “Oral Presentation Evaluation Criteria and Checklist” for what forms a good presentation and specific areas you should give feedback: http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~josephw/ORAL%20PRESENTATION%20EVALUATION%20CRITERIA%20AND%20CHECKLIST.pdf

關於presentation的一些想法 on Wei-jen Hsu’s blog provides a step-by-step recipe for first-time presenters to follow (to prepare a 20-minute presentation in 20 hours): http://weijentravel.blogspot.com/2010/01/presentation.html
