The purpose of the course is to provide students with knowledge about behavioral and experimental economics. The main objective of this course is to review the main results obtained in behavioral and experimental economics. Another objective is after critically discussing the findings, developing own research ideas and learning how to design own experiments.
The lectures will explore how experimental work has been used to study markets and economic institutions, and discuss seminal and recent experimental developments on how people respond to risk, make choices over time, and interact with others. We will do an overview of how experiments have been used to test game theory of strategic interactions and how people learn about their environment and the actions of others. The last sections of the class will briefly review experimental work on incentives and ethics (cheating behavior).
