\nThe
\nEconomic Science Institute<\/a>
\n at Chapman recently hosted 20 doctoral students from around the world for the 21st Visiting Graduate Student Workshop in Experimental Economics.
\n
\nIn a series of 11 sessions, the students first participated in an economic experiment earning cash as a naive subject would and then afterwards discussed with the faculty member the research questions and methods of the project. The topics of the modules covered a broad range of applications, including virtual organizations, virtual worlds, and game theory of contests and monetary policy.
\n
\nVernon Smith, Ph.D., George L. Argyros Endowed Chair in Finance and Economics and Bart Wilson Ph.D., Professor, Donald P. Kennedy Chair in Economics and Law, the workshop director, also led Socratic round-table discussions for which the students had in advance read essays and selections of writings by W.S. Jevons, F.A. Hayek, and Vernon Smith.
