Applications are now being accepted for the
Fifth Barcelona LeeX Experimental Economics Summer School
in Macroeconomics, BLESS-M-2012,
to be held: June 11-15 2012 at Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain.
The deadline for applications is 1 April 2012.
The aim of the summer school is to introduce
macroeconomists to experimental methods and to further promote the use of
experiments in the evaluation of macroeconomic models. While macroeconomic
theories have traditionally been tested using non-experimental “field” data,
many modern, micro-founded macroeconomic models can also be tested in the
laboratory and researchers have begun to pursue such experimental tests.
Graduate students specializing in macroeconomics or experimental economics, as
well as junior faculty members and other macroeconomic researchers who have an
interest in experimental or behavioral approaches are encouraged to apply.
During the intensive 5-day summer school students will be
taught experimental methods and exposed to a number of macroeconomic
applications that have been tested experimentally. Students will be asked to
participate in experiments and to develop their own experimental macroeconomic
projects. Faculty will assist with and critique these projects. Past summer schools have resulted in the
production of a number of high quality collaborative experimental projects.
For a detailed outline of the program, lectures and
application procedures, please visit the summer school website at: http://www.upf.edu/leex/events/bleess_2012/index.html
As last year the summer school will be followed by the
3rd Leex International Conference on Theoretical and Experimental Macroeconomics,
June 18-19, 2012. Registered summer school students will be invited to attend
that workshop as well. Details on this conference are available at: http://www.upf.edu/leex/
The summer school instructors are:

Charles Noussair, Tilburg University
Shyam Sunder, Yale University
Lecturers and Organizers
John Duffy, University of Pittsburgh
Frank Heinemann, Technische Universität Berlin Rosemarie
