WWW ECONOMICS EXPERIMENT
I have conducted (am in the process of conducting) some economics experiments using WWW interface. Papers and data from my experiments will be available soon. The website for my experiements is:
My experimental economic site is WWW based, and experiments can be accessed and implemented anywhere as long as internet connection is available. It does not require a lab, although there is an advantage of conducting WWW based experiments in a lab as it enables us to control and monitor our experiments better.
Participants can select any experiment they wish to join and register online through the website as long as there are sill time slots available. In each time slot, we usually have several treatments, and particiapants registering for a particular time slot will be randomly allocated to treatments.
Useful Resources:
A WWW based experiment is helpful when a fully dedicated experimental economics lab (with dedicated server and administrator) is not available and a paper based economics experiment is logistically difficult to handle. Olivier Kirchkamp from Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena (Germany) provides an excellent guide for setting up a WWW based experiment. His guide has been extremely useful for me.
Alternatively, z-Tree, a software developed by Urs Fischbacher from the Department of Economics, University of Konstanz - Germany can be also used.
