Resource Economics 797E - ST-Exper & Behavioral Econ II

The aim of this course is to provide graduate students with a solid understanding of experimental methodology. It starts with a short survey of experiment design issues and common games. The main emphasis then turns towards examining various econometric tools that researchers use to analyze experimental data. These include non-parametric and parametric treatment testing, regressions, maximum likelihood approach, etc. Students will (1) practice STATA coding, replicating previous research findings; (2) read, summarize and present papers that apply the econometric techniques under discussion; and (3) acquire the skill of selecting proper econometric tools and formulating optimal experiment designs to address different types of research questions.

Open to Graduate students only.
