Description

This subject uses experiments to investigate behaviour in markets, games and other strategic situations. It provides a hands-on introduction to different trading mechanisms (e.g. continuous time double auctions, sealed-bid auctions, common-value auctions) and social dilemmas that arise when people try to provide public goods voluntarily, lobby to influence government, compete in contests, and bargain with and trust each other.
