The “How-To” of Experimental Economics in Agricultural, Environmental & Applied Research
At the Marriott Copley Place, Boston, MA on July 30, 2016, 1:00 PM
to 5:00 PM
Organized by
Carola Grebitus (Arizona State University),
Matthew Rousu (Susquehanna University)
Organizing Committee
Jay Corrigan (Kenyon College), Gregory
Colson (University of Georgia)
Program
Hosted by the new Experimental
Economics Section, the objective of this AAEA pre-conference workshop
is to teach how to run economic experiments. The primary purpose is to
contribute to the attendees’ understanding of the research methods and tools
for using experimental economics to analyze individual decision-making. The
workshop program includes three speakers who will help provide the
nuts-and-bolts details of running an experiment. Topics include:
- What type of subject pool should one consider?
- How much in incentives should be provided, and how to recruit participants?
- How to handle difficult participants.
- What is IRB and why is it important?
- Does everything you tell participants have to be truthful?
- How to combine “standard” methods, such as auctions or choice experiments, with novel methods, such as eye tracking.
- How does an experiment including eye tracking differ from a “normal” experiment?
- How to collect and analyze data with eye tracking?
