Behavioral Game Theory

For this seminar, we can only accept a limited number of participants. Participants must have passed the class in Behavioral Game Theory with 1.9 or better (a slightly worse grade can be compensated with a good grade in Economics of Corruption). Participants are asked to sign up on StudIP to apply for the course. The chair will inform all signed up participants of the outcome once the selection process has been completed.

Seminar with own research project (experiment).

Additional literature will be assigned / recommended during the course.

summer term

Students run their own research projects to investigate the boundaries between economic theory and actual human behavior.

The seminar yields 10 ECTS (in case of a group work only 7 ECTS).
Class attendance time (in hours) = 60, out-of-class study time (in hours) = 240 (150 in case of a group work).

Students can also run a group project based on a template by the lecturer in groups of 2 (or in case of a reasonable and sound application even more). They design and run the experiment, analyze and present the data and write the seminar paper together. In the seminar paper, it must be clearly distinguishable which of the group members wrote which chapters. For such a group project, students receive 7 ECTS, because the workload per group member will be approximately 150 hours.
