For this reason, an increasing number of professors are incorporating experiments into their undergraduate courses.
In his new text, Charles Holt begins each chapter with a lead-off experiment designed as an organizing device to introduce economic concepts such as the Winner's Curse, Asset Market Bubbles, and Rent Seeking. These experiments are easy to facilitate in the classroom, and may be run by hand or online via an internet browser.
