Full Description
This exam covers the methodological approaches employed in experimental economics, emphasizing the construction of valid experiments to test economic theories. Essential concepts include randomization, control groups, and variable manipulation.
Accurate experimental design is pivotal in establishing causal relationships in economic research. Its impact extends to empirical validation of theories, enhancing the credibility of results, and informing policy decisions based on experimental evidence.
Candidates will be assessed on their verbal ability to discuss different experimental methodologies, including advantages and limitations of each approach. They must demonstrate critical thinking in evaluating empirical research.
A thorough understanding of data collection techniques and their relevance to economic inquiry will also be evaluated, ensuring candidates grasp the importance of robust data in experimental outcomes.
