For this reason, an increasing number of professors are incorporating experiments into their undergraduate courses.          In his new text, Charles Holt begins each chapter with a lead-off experiment designed as an organizing device to introduce economic concepts such as the Winner's Curse, Asset Market Bubbles, and Rent Seeking. These experiments are easy to facilitate in the classroom, and may be run by hand or online via an internet browser.         The early chapters in Part I of the text cover the basics, providing examples that feature markets with buyers and sellers, simple two-person games, and individual lottery choice decision. Professors can choose the order in which they cover later chapter topics, including markets, bargaining, public choice, auctions, individual decisions, games, and asymmetric information.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49605764284689,"sku":"GOR005165503","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50261691662609,"sku":"CIN0321419316VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53449293529361,"sku":"CIN0321419316G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0321419316.jpg?v=1750973942"},{"product_id":"markets-games-and-strategic-behavior-book-charles-a-holt-9780691179247","title":"Markets, Games, and Strategic Behavior","description":"From a pioneer in experimental economics, an expanded and updated edition of a textbook that brings economic experiments into the classroom  Economics is rapidly becoming a more experimental science, and the best way to convey insights from this research is to engage students in classroom simulations that motivate subsequent discussions and reading. In this expanded and updated second edition of Markets, Games, and Strategic Behavior, Charles Holt, one of the leaders in experimental economics, provides an unparalleled introduction to the study of economic behavior, organized around risky decisions, games of strategy, and economic markets that can be simulated in class. Each chapter is based on a key experiment, presented with accessible examples and just enough theory.  Featuring innovative applications from the lab and the field, the book introduces new research on a wide range of topics. Core chapters provide an introduction to the experimental analysis of markets and strategic decisions made in the shadow of risk or conflict. Instructors can then pick and choose among topics focused on bargaining, game theory, social preferences, industrial organization, public choice and voting, asset market bubbles, and auctions.  Based on decades of teaching experience, this is the perfect book for any undergraduate course in experimental economics or behavioral game theory.    New material on topics such as matching, belief elicitation, repeated games, prospect theory, probabilistic choice, macro experiments, and statistical analysis  Participatory experiments that connect behavioral theory and laboratory research  Largely self-contained chapters that can each be covered in a single class  Guidance for instructors on setting up classroom experiments, with either hand-run procedures or free online software  End-of-chapter problems, including some conceptual-design questions, with hints or partial solutions provided","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729088258321,"sku":"NGR9780691179247","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49788025667857,"sku":"GOR013784908","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50914226241809,"sku":"CIN0691179247VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51005666984209,"sku":"NIN9780691179247","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691179247.jpg?v=1750847971"},{"product_id":"economic-experience-book-charles-a-holt-9780691264097","title":"The Economic Experience","description":"An innovative introduction to economic behavior that uses interactive experiments to promote experience-based discovery  This book presents a unique active-learning approach to economic thinking, providing a behavioral perspective on basic economic concepts ranging from trust to trade.
