Experimental methods is a field of growing importance in the social sciences, in which decision making is tested in a controlled laboratory environment. The resulting data are used to evaluate theories as well as to test and fine tune policies that could not easily be tested with naturally occurring data. The spectrum of applications for experimental research is broad, including but not limited to international relations, voting theory, public economics, and game theory. This course surveys experimental research in many of these fields and provides a basic framework for designing and constructing experiments.
