Invited Workshops

Experimental economics is also an effective tool for demonstrating complex concepts in economics for the lay person. With a generous gift from IFREE we have developed versions of our teaching software for our portable laboratory of 16 OQO machines. Each machine weighs 14 oz. and runs a full Window XP operating system. Our Mobile Lab, which fits in two pieces of carry-on luggage, has traveled from Juneau, Alaska to Amelia Island, Florida.
