The essay is a proposal for an original experiment. The essay will have an introduction

(which consists of a literature review and the research question), discussion of alternative

theories, design of the proposed experiment (including discussion of any specific methodological

issues), discussion of expected results (including measures you would use) and a

conclusion.

The key components of the essay are to:

• Propose an original experiment, which is designed to answer a specific research question.

– In order to determine if your idea is original and where it fits within the existing

literature, you will need to conduct an extensive literature review. A practical

training session will be held to assist with finding appropriate articles (economics

journal articles).

• Explain in sufficient detail the design of the experiment:

– The experiment should adhere to the basic principles of experimental economics

that are covered in this course!

– Specific design choices should be explained and justified.

– Consider several treatment dimensions.

Submission will be electronically via the link on the course Blackboard site.

Essay Proposal (5% of final grade)

The purpose of the proposal is to give you feedback on your proposed topic and ensure you

have a viable essay topic.

You should submit a TWO page description of the proposed research question for your essay.

The proposal should include the following items:

• Essay title

• A brief description of the specific research question you will be addressing in your essay

• A discussion of recent relevant literature including references to at least

FIVE economics journal articles on which your essay will be based. This discussion

should clearly explain how your experiment is related to but differs from those

already in the literature.

• A short description of your proposed experimental design.

• A reference list (which may be on a separate third page).
