Introduction to Economics Using Experiments

Introduction to Economics Using Experiments is a Social Science class taught by Matthew Darling.

This course satisfies Division I requirements.

Course Description
This course will teach students economics using classroom experiments. Most classes will be divided into two sessions ? a 'lab' in which students will participate in a classroom experiment and a lecture or discussion in which we go over the experiment and how it applies to economic theory. Readings will include some textbook material, as well as scholarly articles on experimental economics. Assignments will include problem sets and a final paper, which could be a literature review or a student-designed experiment.
