VCEE - Vienna Center Experimental Economics

The purpose of the Center is to provide infrastructure for conducting experimental research at the University of Vienna. Operations began in November 2011.

The Vienna Center for Experimental Economics (VCEE) was formally established in January 2011. It is an institution of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Statistics at the University of Vienna. The purpose of the Center is to provide infrastructure for conducting experimental research at the University of Vienna and is a forum for the discussion and exchange of ideas. Experiments are an importa

nt tool of research in economics. Economic experiments can be run in a laboratory, over the internet or elsewhere (“in the field”). We have a 150 m2 state-of-the-art experimental laboratory located on the premises of the University Campus (map) that includes 28 workstations and a control room. We also plan to do internet experiments and field experiments. We rank in the top 3% worldwide among research institutions in Experimental Economics according to a ranking of by repec (rank 44/1477, April. 2014).
