Features: Experimental economics has the following four aspects of functions: , testing theories, second, discovering new empirical rules, third, institutional design, and fourth, it is also a highly interactive teaching method. This textbook is a supplementary material that can be used in conjunction with common economics textbooks domestically and internationally. Schools with different teaching requirements can adjust the usage ratio between the two. Experimental teaching is synchronized with theoretical teaching and conducted in an alternating manner; schools with a lower proportion of experimental teaching can select only some of the experiments. If the course has a high proportion of experiments, each student participating in the experiments can purchase this book and use it directly. If the proportion of experiments is smaller, teachers can carefully read this book and photocopy the tables and experimental instructions before each experiment, distributing them to each student. Some experiments, such as the double auction experiment and the monopoly experiment, are basic experiments, especially the former, which has reliable results, is simple to organize, and is worth adopting. This textbook not only includes traditional microeconomics but also covers some macroeconomics, industrial organization, and game theory, so it can serve as a reference book for many corresponding economics courses. Some schools have fewer teaching hours for economics and do not have time to conduct economics experiments. Teachers can organize interested students to participate in extracurricular activities.
