MPhil Experimental Economics 2025-26

The topics for this course change every year.
The first part is during term 1 and is taught by Michael Thaler; I cover the second part in term 2.

In this course, we will discuss an overview of several topics in experimental economics. The goal is not to cover all the active research, but to get students a background of experimental economics, and to get to the frontier on a selection of topics. Each year the topics change, with the goal that most of the material will be new for students who have previously taken the course.

This year's topics are TBC (details soon).
Meeting Times and Location
Monday, 9:00-11:00. (TBC).
