DETAILS: Economics isn’t just about GDP and interest rates… it’s also about how to bid in an auction, the best way to sell a used car, why people give money to charities, optimal strategies for small businesses, and even how to use stock prices to predict the future! Over the last 40 years, economists have used laboratory experiments with real people to understand how these economic interactions work. Professor Paul J. Healy invites you to come to Ohio State’s campus for a one-day workshop where you’ll play economic “games” in our research laboratory, learn about current topics in economics and “game theory”, and—best of all—get paid based on how well you play! Earnings will be between $70 and $100 per person, depending on performance. You’ll also get a taste of what life is like in a college classroom... and maybe even discover your future career!
