Lab Experiments in Public Economics

The workshop serves as a forum to present and discuss current research on public economics using laboratory experiments. In the last ten years, lab experiments have increasingly been used to explore behavioral implications of policy reforms and, more generally, institutions. This raises a number of questions, e.g. how can real world institutions be represented in the lab? How can lab findings be translated into real world policy advice? And so on. The workshop sets out to intensively discuss these issues using the example of current lab studies in this field of research. We are happy that two distingusihed experts, Jean-Robert Tyran (University of Vienna) and Benedikt Hermann (JRC, EU Commission), will deliver the keynote speeches, in which they will focus on the role of lab experiments for public economics and policy advise.
