Kommentar/Beschreibung

Experiments are an important scientific method widely used in research. The course provides an overview about experiments as a methodological approach to generate knowledge in the field of business economics. Hereby, it offers a foundational understanding of experimental economics for conducting research and attending advanced courses using the experimental method.
The purpose of this course is twofold. First, it offers a theoretical introduction to the experimental research and its limitations. Hence, some sessions will provide a profound understanding of the experimental method, e.g., how experiments are conducted and used in business economics. Second, the course will introduce students to some basic methods of statistical analysis such as the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) or Linear Regression Analysis. Through this, students gain insight into how collected data of experiments can be analyzed and how results are interpreted. Based on the lecture, the tutorial will deepen the practical understanding of analyzing data by introducing students to the software Stata.

Learning Objectives:
• Critical reflection on the possibilities and limitations of experimental behavioral research
• Understanding of different experimental research designs
• Repetition and consolidation of basic knowledge in descriptive statistics and inference
• Independent preparation and analysis of data using statistical software
