Key facts
- It offers an overview of the most popular approaches, namely lab, field, and survey experiments. It is intended for researchers who have a basic understanding of statistics and quantitative methods but have not designed and/or fielded their own experiment yet.
- Radboud University's Randomized Experimental Methods - Survey, Lab, Field and Conjoint Experiments course will cover theoretical foundations and practicalities of lab and field experiments, placing special emphasis on design choices (external and internal validity) and ethical considerations.
- The instructor will discuss lab-in-the-field, as well as audit experiments. He will also illustrate some of the typical modelling approaches using data from his own experiments, as well as publicly available replication data.
Programme Structure
Course include:
- One day (two sessions) will be entirely dedicated to conjoint experiments, which have recently gained popularity in political science and sociology, given their cost efficiency, as well as their ability to approximate real-world decision making, to test multiple competing hypotheses parallel and to limit social desirability bias.
- The course will also offer some pointers on common approaches to visualize experimental data.
