Experiment Center
Economic experiments – be it in the lab or the field – provide a valuable method to explore the foundations, mechanisms, and implications of economic decision-making in financial contexts and institutions. Researchers at the SAFE Experiment Center use this method to study key questions, for example, in household finance, corporate governance, or financial markets. Experiments help to identify causal relations, measure “behavioral heterogeneity” (e.g., in economic preferences or beliefs), as well as assist policymakers in evaluating the effects of particular interventions and institutions.
The SAFE Experiment Center is a collaboration between the Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE and the Frankfurt Laboratory for Experimental Economic Research FLEX.
