Economic experiments are not only possible, but have earned their most prominent pioneer, Vernon Smith, the Nobel Memorial Prize in 2002.

Curiously, standard textbooks ignore entirely the experimental evidence, and this ignorance is common even among academic and professional economists. Does the experimental evidence shed too bright a light on orthodox economic theory? You be the judge, since many classic economic experiments are as easy to replicate as playing a party game. Can they be as much fun? That's what we're going to find out in this seminar.
