This course covers topics in behavioral and experimental economics, with some introduction to game theory, auction design, and strategic decision making in risky environments.  The primary text is Markets, Games, and Strategic Behavior, by C Holt, Pearson, Addison-Wesley, 2007.  This is a research-oriented class and the sequence of topics will be determined jointly by student and instructor interests.  Student teams design their own experiments, which can be run by hand or from the Veconlab website maintained by the instructor. Students also do team-based class presentations and write a short paper focused on one or more published journal articles that use lab or field experiments to study economic behavior.
