Experimental Economics II:Theory and Experiments in Political Economy National Taiwan University

Course Overview

In this course, we will take a formal look at various environments where a group of individuals (committee, society, congress, etc.) makes a decision through some institutional mechanism (consensus, elections, jury deliberations, legislative bargaining etc.). These environments often coincide with real-world political institutions which we will study with the tools of (non-cooperative) game theory and experimental economics. We will try to critically understand varied aspects of political institutions through the lens of formal models in political economy.
