"Experimental Political Economy" at LMU Munich, Master Level (for additional information see LSF) (Lecture evaluation, Tutorial Evaluation)
Standard economic models assume that people are rational and selfish. However, it has been shown in lab and field experiments that people systematically deviate from the rationality as well as the selfishness assumption. People make mistakes, adhere to social norms, hold ethical values such as honesty, or have fairness concerns, i.e. are willing to (punish) reward (un)kind actions and trust others (even in one shot interactions). Such behavior has important implications for the design of political institutions, voting outcomes and economic welfare. In this course, we will discuss classical as well as recent papers that relate models from political economy to human behavior. The main goals of the course are i) to make the students familiar with recent models of political economy theory and ii) to learn how such formal models can be tested empirically. We will touch upon topics, such as committee decision making, information aggregation, elections and political promises and voter turnout. Thereby the course will provide an overview of the existing research linking the consequences human behavior for institutional design.
