Summer School 2012 on "Experimental Auctions: Theory and Applications
in Food Marketing and Consumer Preferences Analysis"
3 – 8 September 2012 - BOLOGNA
The summer school is aimed at learning the fundamentals and the recent
advances of experimental auctions. It will provide the appropriate techniques
to construct an experimental design, with software applications and workshops
regarding specific problems in the fields of food market valuation. It
will also provide the appropriate knowledge of the models used in the
experimental auction literature for the data analysis. Results interpretation
and policy implications will be also discussed.
The course is taught by Rodolfo M. Nayga, Jayson L. Lusk, and Andreas
Drichoutis, with the assistance of Maurizio Canavari.
