**Economics 980MM Field Experiments**  
*2026 Spring*  
Field experiments (experiments that take place in real-world settings) are increasingly being used to analyze public policies, make business decisions, and test theories. This class will dive into how to design a field experiment and will use experiments to learn about the research process more generally. We will discuss some of the most exciting recent experimental research as well as how to frame a question so that the research informs policy, when to trust research discussed in the popular press, and how to interpret and apply results to improve decision-making.
