I will be presenting An Experimental Comparison of Two Exchange Mechanisms (PDF , 1,186kb) in the Departmental seminar series, on the 27th of September from 10.00 to 11.30.

This, An Introduction to Experimental Economics (MS PowerPoint , 863kb) is an introductory lecture on the whole approach. I gave it on Wednesday the 13th ofOctober. I am giving it again on Wednesday the 21st of September in VKS003.

Also this, The Methodology of Experimental Economics (MS PowerPoint , 64kb) is an introductory lecture on methodology. I will present it on Friday the 23rd of September at 14.30 to 16.00 in Chanakya 101.

I will use The design and implementation of Hey and Lotito (MS PowerPoint , 336kb) and The design and implementation of Carbone, Hey and Neugebauer (MS PowerPoint , 60kb) as illustrations of the Methodogy presentation. It would be helpful if you read Hey and Lotito Paper (PDF , 479kb) and Carbone, Hey and Neugebauer Paper (PDF , 1,186kb) respectively first.

The Hey and Lotito Experimental software ( 104kb download) is here.

It has been suggested to me that I give you the opportunity of experiencing experiments. That is an excellent idea. I need, and am waiting for, the cooperation of the IT department, as all my recent experiments are computerised. Any such sessions would be conducted in a Computer Room.

I would like you to experence the market experiment of Hey, Carbone and Neugebauer. This is an interactive Z-tree program and we need to mount it. You can read the published paper with the link below. The subjects were given instructions about the experiment as a whole and a recording of the trading Instructions (these are for the asset market). These are below.
