[PAST EVENT] Lecture: Far-off Experiments with Humans
October 1, 2014
3:30pm - 5pm
Corruption, civil war, and ethnic strife are often pointed to as prime constraints to economic development and causes of poverty around the world. Recent experimental approaches are shedding new light on the origin and nature of these phenomena and the effectiveness of relatively low-cost tools to combat them. We will discuss these findings and the future direction of these experiments.
Reves Hall Global Lectures are informal discussions between featured speakers, students, professors and other guest speakers on global affairs. The lectures are free and open to the public.
