The course official name in Sisu is “Behavioral Field Experiments”
Description
The course will focus on the study of beliefs, perceptions, and information, and how these factors influence economic behavior. There will be a specific emphasis on methods that combine experiments, register data, and survey data.
The course includes both online lectures and two in-person sessions in Helsinki and Lund. The first in-person (hybrid) lectures will take place in Helsinki (Finland) on September 9, right after the ESA 2024 European Meeting and the final in-person (hybrid) session will consist of one day in Lund (Sweden) on November 21, right before a workshop of Copenhagen Network of Experimental Economists workshop. Participants are requested to attend at least one of these in-person events (and follow the other one online or in-person).
Between the two in-person events, there is a series of online lectures with a focus on methods and practical skills. They will cover i) how to utilize and measure perceptions, beliefs and information in empirical research; ii) integration of experimental, survey and registry data; iii) open science practices including pre-registration.
Completion methods: The examination will consist of one smaller method-related assignment and a final assignment which will ask participants to design a poster with a research idea on a topic relating to the course materials and methods.
Credit points: 5 ECTS.
