SUMMER SCHOOL IN EXPERIMENTAL MACROECONOMICS: Call for applicants

2/27/2017

 
Here.

 
The 10th Experimental Economics Summer School in Macroeconomics will be held in Stony Brook, NY, USA, from July 17-23, 2017.
 
The location of the 2017 summer school (and the related workshop) has been changed from Barcelona to Stony Brook, NY, USA.  This year’s summer school will be a part of the Stony Brook Summer Game Theory Festival.
 
The aim of this summer school is to introduce macroeconomists to experimental approaches to doing research. Macroeconomic theories have traditionally been tested using non-experimental “field” data.  However, modern, micro-founded macroeconomic models can also be tested in the laboratory, and researchers have begun to pursue such experimental tests. Graduate students and young faculty specializing in macroeconomics or experimental economics are invited to attend this intensive 5-day summer school.  Students will be taught experimental methods and exposed to a number of macroeconomic applications that have been tested experimentally.  Students will be asked to participate in experiments and to develop their own experimental macroeconomic projects in groups of 3 or 4 students. Faculty will assist with and critique these projects.
 
We also invite summer school students to present their ongoing research during the summer school. Such presentations will be at the discretion of the summer school organizers. Students can submit research proposals as part of their summer school application, though this is not a requirement for participation in the summer school.  Indeed, one purpose of the summer school is to think of macroeconomic topics and models that can be implemented in the laboratory or in field experiments in a way that advances our knowledge of behavior. Past participants have published articles based on their summer school projects.
