Experimental economics involves the use of controlled, experimental methods both in the laboratory and the field to better comprehend how individuals and groups make economic decisions and to more clearly identify causal relationships. This book takes the reader to the frontier of research in this exciting and rapidly growing field. Unlike other texts, this book discusses both the methodology of experimental economics and some of the main application areas.The material is organized as a series of 12 chapters or lectures that can be covered in a single academic term. The first five chapters cover the reasons for experimentation as well as basic experimental methodology. The last seven chapters discuss applications of experimental economics to areas such as game theory, public economics, social preferences, auctions and markets. The book assumes only a basic knowledge of economics and game theory and is written at a level that is suitable for advanced undergraduate, master's or PhD students.

John Duffy's The edge of seeing is a collection full of a deep-rooted love, one that finds its anchor in the sheer reliable physicality of the world and the universe it turns in. The poems range widely through Celtic legend, through revolutionary France and the schoolrooms and parlours of a Glasgow childhood. They move easily from the lyrical to the heft and swagger of Glasgow demotic speech. They are crowded with voices, and the felt observation of the natural world, its birds and its animals. They are, as he memorably writes of a new born fawn "as tough as mice / or daisies". The edge of seeing a delight from beginning to end. - John Foggin

?Students of the history of Vermont should find much to interest them in the book. Duffy and Muller probe more deeply into the phenomena they discuss than did David Ludlum, whose Social Ferment in Vermont, 1791-1850, provides the only previous systematic treatment of reform movements in the 1830s. ... An Anxious Democracy is a useful addition to the rapidly increasing literature about northern New England. Regional historians should become familiar with its contents.?-American Historical Review
