Applied Microeconomics
The Applied Microeconomics research group unites researchers working on a broad array of topics within such areas as labour economics, economics of education, health economics, family economics, urban economics, environmental economics, and the economics of science and innovation. The group operates in close collaboration with the CAGE Research Centre.
The group participates in the CAGE seminar on Applied Economics, which runs weekly on Tuesdays at 2:15pm. Students and faculty members of the group present their ongoing work in two brown bag seminars, held weekly on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 1pm. Students, in collaboration with faculty members, also organise a bi-weekly reading group in applied econometrics on Thursdays at 1pm. The group organises numerous events throughout the year, including the Research Away Day and several thematic workshops.

Title: Class Experiments - F2F, Online, Synchronous? A Case Study Comparison
Class experiments have been shown to aid student learning. Traditionally, these were conducted with paper and pen. However, platforms have subsequently been developed to enable them to be run online. Among other advantages, this allows the possibility of conducting class experiment in a remote, asynchronous format with potential benefits for students and instructors. However, there is little evidence on how this asynchronous approach compares to other delivery formats. To address this, our paper provides novel case-study evidence on the effectiveness of delivery format for class experiments. As part of our presentation, we will also offer provide practical, step-by-step guidance of how to adapt a classroom experiment for asynchronous, remote delivery.
