Selected Issues in Experimental Economics : Proceedings of the 2015 Computational Methods in Experimental Economics (CMEE) Conference

Derived from the 2015Computational Methods in Experimental Economics (CMEE) conference, this bookfeatures papers containing research and analysis of economic experimentsconcerning research in such areas as management science, decision theory, gametheory, marketing and political science.

Theaim of this volume is to provide deep insights and the latest scientificdevelopments and trends in experimental economics. Derived from the 2015Computational Methods in Experimental Economics (CMEE) conference, this bookfeatures papers containing research and analysis of economic experimentsconcerning research in such areas as management science, decision theory, gametheory, marketing and political science. The goal is to present possibilitiesfor using various computer methods in the scope of experimental economics tofurther provide researchers with a wide variety of tools. 

Thefield of experimental economics is rapidly evolving. Modern use of experimentaleconomics requires the integration of knowledge in the domains of economicsciences, computer science, psychology, and neuroscience. Recent researchincludes experiments conducted both in the laboratory and in the field, and theresults are used for testing and a better understanding of economic theories.Researchers working in this field use mainly a set of well-established methodsand computer tools that support the experiments. Methods such as artificialintelligence, computer simulation and computer graphics, however, are notrepresented enough in experimental economics studies and most experimenters donot consider their usage. The goal of the conference and the enclosed papers isto allow for an exchange of experiences and to promote joint initiatives toinsight change in this trend.
