ABSTRACT

For two weeks, 18-29 June 2001, twenty economics graduate students from around the world gathered to learn how to run economics experiments. Despite the distraction of a stunning setting-a cliff-top hotel overlooking Trento and the Adige valley-the students made remarkable progress. Students sorted themselves into eight groups and on the last day, each group presented the results of an original pilot experiment. After returning home, many students continue to run laboratory experiments and to show others how to do it.
