Workshop on Choice-Process Data in Experimental Economics
(Thursday October 18th, 2018)
 
Update: The Conference program is out. You can always find the most up to date version here
 
What are choice-process data? Choice outcomes are not the only data generated from a decision. Decision makers move their eyes around to collect information, take time to consider their options, and use their hands to make a selection. With recent technological and methodological advances, process measures such as response times, eye tracking, and mouse tracking are becoming easily accessible. The question is what can we learn from them?

This workshop aims to expose experimental economists to exciting new research that uses process data to shed light on fundamental questions. Registration is free for participants in the ESA NA Conference and can be done through the ESA registration page.

Invited experts: Giorgio Coricelli (University of Southern California), Nicolette Sullivan (Duke University), and Eric J. Johnson (Columbia University).

In addition to talks by invited experts, the workshop will feature a small number of submitted talks. Papers can be submitted through the ESA submission system, with the same deadline as the main conference.

The NSF-funded workshop is being organized by Ian Krajbich (The Ohio State University) and Charles Noussair (University of Arizona). Please contact Ian (krajbich.1@osu.edu) with any questions

Practical Information

About Antigua

Antigua Guatemala was the colonial capital of the Spanish Captaincy General. A gem of colonial architecture, Antigua’s features have been preserved as though time were frozen.  Because of its historical and cultural value, UNESCO declared Antigua as a World Heritage site in 1979. 

Antigua offers several attractions including museums, ruins of colonial-era churches and convents, plus a variety of bars and restaurants that cater to any taste and budget. The Handicraft Market of Antigua Guatemala offers a wide selection of products and handicrafts. 

As a small country with variations in topography and several microclimates, Guatemala offers attractive sites and activities for different tastes: from a tranquil getaway in beautiful Lake Atitlán (considered one of the most beautiful by famous novelist Aldous Huxley), to exploring the Mayan ruins in the middle of a tropical rainforest, to hiking one of the more than thirty volcanoes. Tours are available around Guatemala and information on different destinations is available at www.visitguatemala.com.
