Experimental Finance 2021 Virtual Summer School

June 14-15, 2021

The Department of Banking and Finance at the University of Innsbruck and the Society for Experimental Finance (SEF) would like to invite you to the virtual Experimental Finance Summer School 2021. The goal of the summer school is to deepen students’ understanding and knowledge of the field of experimental finance. Students are also invited to attend the Experimental Finance Conference from June 16-18.

While all students are welcome, the summer school targets the following groups:

  • Young scholars from finance and economics departments who belong to a non-experimental group at their university, but are interested in research in Experimental Finance.

  • Young scholars from finance and economics departments that are embedded in an experimental group but want to improve their experimental skills and get an overview over some of the main fields in a systematic way.

Program

In addition to the lectures students will select one of the lecture topics as their major and will participate in a group assignment designed by the lecturer of this topic (e.g. writing and critical review, designing an experiment etc).
