Chapman Argyros School Hosts Experimental Economics Workshop
The Chapman University Argyros School of Business recently hosted 20 international doctoral students for its 21st Visiting Graduate Student Workshop in Experimental Economics.
Attendees participated in 11 sessions, with modules that included monetary policy, virtual worlds and organizations; and game theory.
Students commented upon their experiences during the sessions.
“A great workshop, full of brilliant, international participants and presenters. The workshop takes excellent care of participants, teaches them a great deal, gives them much needed experience in experimental economics, and they pay well,” said one.
Another commented:
“This workshop and immense value past just the monetary gain of the experiments. The lectures showed me new ways of doing things and have opened my eyes to new tools and perspectives. We had opportunity to talk with each lecturer one-on-one after lectures which was of huge value to be able to get their feedback on specific ideas. We were able to have free time which all of the participants spent as a group which fostered great intellectual conversations that would not be had in any other setting. The knowledge and contacts made at this conference was incredible.”
Round-table discussions were led by Vernon 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.
Among presenting faculty from Chapman were Gabriele Camera, Brice Corgnet, Mark DeSantis, and Timothy Shields.
