Programming experiments in z-Tree

Description

The course will provide participants with the basic information required to program and run experiments with z-Tree. In the second part of the course, I will introduce more advanced tools for programming in z-Tree, and answer specific questions possibly raised by participants in relation with their current and perspective research.During classes, participants will have to replicate on their PC the described procedures, so to make classes as interactive as possible.

The course will be taught in English, and classes will take place at the BLESS lab in via Ranzani 14/b, Bologna. It is aimed at the Ph.D. students in Economics and Law and Economics of the University of Bologna, but a limited number of seats is available for external students.
