Researchers from the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics are looking for volunteers to participate in computer-based experiments to be held on the following days:
Session 1: Nov 13 (Monday), from 4 pm to 6 pm in Room 304
Session 2: Nov 14 (Tuesday), from 5 pm to 7 pm in Room 306
Session 3: Nov 15 (Wednesday), from 4 pm to 6 pm in Room 304
Session 4: Nov 16 (Thursday), from 5 pm to 7 pm in Room 306
Session 5: Nov 17 (Friday), from 4 pm to 6 pm in 304
The experiment will run for about 1.5 hours. You will participate in a simulated market environment at computer terminals, seeking to earn as much money as possible over the course of the experiment. You will receive a $5 show-up fee and will earn additional money during the experiment. Your earnings during the experiment will translate to an amount of real payment that you get to take home with you. The better you do in the experiment, the more money you will take home. Typical earnings will be between $20 and $30, while the real earning can be lower or higher, depending on your individual performance. You will be paid in cash after the experiment. Experiment sessions will take place in the W.B. Young building, Room 304 and 306. Click here for the location of the building. This experiment is approved under IRB Exemption #X12-129 protocol.
