Participate in economics experiments and earn money

10 October 2014

The ELSE research group at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø is looking for volunteers to take part in experiments and earn some money.

Student on computer Ìý All our experiments involve sitting at a desk for a short while making choices, sometimes in our lab in Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø and sometimes online.Ìý There's no hidden agenda, your choices are confidential and data is anonymised; we just want to see which choices people take in different situations.Ìý The experiments are generally quite interesting and we don't assume any prior knowledge or specific skills from our participants. There are usually about 100 experiments throughout the year.

We pay money to all the participants in our experiments.Ìý You're normally guaranteed £5 just for coming along and you will earn more during the experiment.Ìý The extra amount you get paid on top of the £5 may depend on your choices, the choices of the other participants and on chance.Ìý This is a great opportunity to earn some money during term time, and to help our research projects too.Ìý

To register to take part in our experiments, please visit the .Ìý It takes about five minutes.Ìý

The Economic Learning and Social Evolution (ELSE) research group is an interdisciplinary research centre based at University College London devoted to the study of those areas of human behaviour in which economics and psychology come together.
