Summer School «Experimental Economics: purposes, design, tools»

The school aims at introducing young faculty and researchers, PhD students and advanced masters and undegraduates in the fields of economics, management, political science, sociology and related disciplines to behavioral and experimental economics as well as to contemporary techniques used in this field of research. Experimental methods are a relatively new but very important way of understanding behavior and economic incentives of real agents. They began to develop in the last third of the XX century, and are widely used nowadays to address numerous problems and questions, ranging from testing economic theories to the studying values and attitudes of different social groups or the effectiveness of institutions. The organizers of the Summer School have many years of experience in conducting international, cross-national and interregional experimental studies, and are ready to share this knowledge with colleagues from different universities and cities of Russia, CIS and worldwide.
