授業の概要

This course provides an introduction to experimental economics through hands-on participation in classroom experiments. Rather than learning economic theory in advance, students will first experience economic interactions as participants, and then reflect on their behavior and outcomes using basic economic reasoning.

Throughout the course, students will take part in a variety of experiments based on game theory and individual decision-making, including coordination games, public goods, bargaining, and risk-taking. These experiments will be conducted using computer-based platforms, allowing students to observe real-time outcomes and aggregate behavior.

The course emphasizes learning by doing, focusing on how economists use experiments to study strategic interaction, incentives, and social behavior. By the end of the course, students will understand not only key economic concepts but also the fundamental methods used in experimental economics.

No prior knowledge of game theory or experimental economics is required.

科目目的

The objective of this course is to enable students to understand economic behavior and reasoning through direct participation in controlled experiments. By engaging in classroom experiments before learning formal theory, students will develop an intuitive understanding of strategic interaction, incentives, and individual decision-making under uncertainty.

到達目標

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to
1. Participate in and understand economic experiments.
2. Explain key concepts in game theory.
3. Analyze experimental data at a basic level.
4. Understand individual decision-making under uncertainty and social interaction.
5. Understand the fundamentals of experimental methodology.
6. Reflect critically on economic models.

授業時間外の学修の内容

授業終了後の課題提出／その他

授業時間外の学修の内容（その他の内容等）

Students learn economics and experimental methods through surprise, confusion, and reflection, rather than by anticipating the correct theoretical model. Accordingly, after participating in a classroom experiment, students are required to submit a short reflection in the following class.

授業時間外の学修に必要な時間数／週

・毎週１回の授業が半期（前期または後期）または通年で完結するもの。１週間あたり４時間の学修を基本とします。
・毎週２回の授業が半期（前期または後期）で完結するもの。１週間あたり８時間の学修を基本とします。

成績評価の方法・基準

成績評価の方法・基準（備考）

Class Participation and Reflection Assignments

- Reflection assignments are based only on the experiment conducted in the previous class. Participation in the experiment is mandatory.
- If a student did not participate in the classroom experiment, the reflection assignment for that session will be considered invalid, even if the assignment is submitted.
- Submitting a reflection without participating in the experiment will receive zero points.
- Submission format will be explained in due course.
