ECONtribute Research Workshop: Field Days

ECONtribute invites to the ECONtribute Research Workshop: Field Days – Experiments outside the laboratory. This workshop brings together researchers who conduct field experiments to present and discuss their work. The organizers aim to include field experiments on a broad set of topics, including methodological advances. This year, the workshop will take place online. As usual, we expect this to be a small workshop so that the participants can receive high quality feedback.
