SEEDEC - Symposium on Economic Experiments in Developing Countries
The annual Symposium on Economic Experiments in Developing Countries (SEEDEC).
SEEDEC brings together a community of scholars who employ laboratory experimental economics methods for research in developing countries.
Each year submissions are invited for papers that reflect SEEDEC’s broad research agenda which includes studies involving lab experiments in the field (in contrast to focusing on the randomized evaluations that have become widespread in development economics in recent years).
