Despite having a short history in economics, experiments have proved to
be as indispensable as in other fields of science and engineering.
Experimental economics has broadened and deepened our understanding of
the economy and human behaviour. Researchers are expected to develop the
tradition with new ideas in new fields for solving various problems in
the real world.
An international conference, which will be held in Japan in December 2004,
aims at exploring new fields for experiments with new approaches. It will
provide a unique opportunity for those who are engaged or interested in
experiments in their fields to discuss experimental approaches from
various standpoints.
The organising comittee is calling for papers in areas of experimental
studies in economic sciences, which include but are not necessarily
limited to economics, accounting, management theories, and social
engineering. Experiments for understanding and improving the real world
are welcome, though experiments for testing economic theories will not
necessarily be excluded. Papers are welcome also in the fields of
economics education.
Any type of "experimental" research or other types of research based on
new ideas or methods are welcome. Those researchers, young researchers
in particular, with novel analytical ideas or tools are encouraged to
present their research at the conference. Financial support for young
researchers (including graduate students) will be available, while papers
will be reviewed primarily from the viewpoint of novelty and originality.
The conference is organised and sponsored by the Hayashibara Foundation and
Kyoto Sangyo University (KSU).
It is also an activity of the Open Research Centre Project "Experimental Economics: A new method
of teaching economics and the research on its impact on society" and
a part of the Experimental Economics Week in Honour of Dr Vernon
Smith sponsored by KSU.
Dr Smith's keynote speech to the general public, which will be made at
Kyoto Sangyo University on the 13th December 2004, is sponsored by Kyoto
Sangyo University.
The sessions of experimental accountings are supported with the cooperation
of Research Institute for Economics and Business
Administration, Kobe University;
The sessions of co-creative decision making are supported with the cooperation
of Research into Artifacts Center for Engineering, The
University of Tokyo .
