This introductory course provides an in-depth analysis of some recent developments, including the rapid growth of behavioural economics and the increased use of field experiments. Because experimental economics is a methodology often used to test economic theory, the course also covers theoretical issues (more specifically, game theory), when appropriate.>> For more information and questions about the Crash Course in Experimental Economics, please contact Erik van den Berg, +31 20 525 1618, summerschool@tinbergen.nl
