Over the course of the semester, a number of economic experiments will be performed in the newly created Center for Experimental Social Science. The experiments are primarily in individual and group decision-making and universally enjoyed by those who participate in them.

The students who participate will be paid for their participation. The amount paid depends on the experiment run, the decisions made by the subject, and the decision made by the other subjects in the experiment. An earnings rate between $15 and $25 for 1 ½ hours of participation is common although in many experiments students earn much more.

Your participation in the experiment and any information about your earnings will be kept strictly confidential and your participation is voluntary.

All experiments take place in the computer lab of the Center for Experimental Social Science sixth floor of 726 Broadway.

If, at any time during the year you think you might be willing to participate, please click here and you can register for upcoming experiments.

By registering you will be put on a list of students who will be informed of upcoming experiments as they take place. If you are interested in participating at that time, you will be able to reply and if you are not you just simply ignore the message.

In addition, you should know that thousands of students have done these experiments in the past and have found them rewarding both monetarily, and intellectually.
