Courses for oTree

In addition to the workshop, we will offer a crash course for tools for conducting experimental research on March 16 (Friday), 2018. OTree is an open-source platform for behavioral research, which is gaining popularity in the experimental research community. The course is free to attend for all participants of the conference.

This course covers the basics of the open source experiment platform oTree (www.otree.org). The target audience is experimental economists and other social scientists who need to run computerized laboratory and online experiments, as well as students who are interested in writing experiment programs. The course will cover Python language basics, oTree program logics, designing experiment user interfaces, oTree server deployment, and oTree experiment procedures.

Lecturer: Ming Jiang (江明)

Ming Jiang is an assistant professor of economics from Shanghai Jiao Tong University Antai College of Economics and Management. His research interests include experimental economics and behavioral economics, and market design.

Location: Teaching and Experimental Center A326, School of Economics and Management, Wuhan University

Program of oTree Course

Further Information

CBER and its laboratory were established in 2016. In 2017, Wuhan University selected CBER as one of its priority institutions in the field of social science. We also receive strong support from the Economics and Management School of WHU: CBER and its laboratory are located in the school. CBER now has seven full time faculty who are interested in experimental methods, and is actively recruiting capable faculty members to further our efforts to build a leading experimental research group in China.

For the past century, Wuhan University has built an elegant palatial architectural complex of primitive simplicity which blends perfectly the eastern architectural style with that of the west. It is honored as the "Most Beautiful University in China." The season of the cherry blossoms within the Wuhan University campus is famous in China. We have chosen the conference timing to hopefully coincide with the peak of the blossoms. There are many excellent cultural, outdoor, and entertainment opportunities for you to take advantage of during your visit. We look forward to seeing you in March. General inquiry about the conference should be directed to Lijia Wei (ljwei@whu.edu.cn) or (0086)-15827103727.
