| About EDN |
| |
|
The ARC Economic Design Network is a research
network funded by the Australian Research Council
to support research and scholarship in economic
theory and experimental economics, and in their
application to the design of economic policy. |
By encouraging interdisciplinary research and
policy innovation, using state of the art techniques
in economic theory and experimental economics,
it will create practical tools that can be used
to solve complex social and economic problems.
By linking Australasian researchers into multidisciplinary
teams and networks involving some of the best
scholars and centres for economic theory and
experimental economics around the world, it will
build on our strengths and help us to create
a world class economic design capacity in the
region.
The Economic Design Network is funded by a five
year ARC grant with additional funds
contributed by some participating
institutions.
The objectives of the
Network are:
|
|
- To coordinate and facilitate
research in economic theory, experimental
economics, and economic design
by members and participating institutions;
- To coordinate and facilitate
innovative policy development through
the application of this research;
- To provide a central forum for
communication and the dissemination
of information;
- To support regular and occasional
conferences;
- To run an annual summer/winter
school;
- To support a program of academic
visitors to the network;
- To provide professional training
and support to policy makers; and
- To build capacity in the Australasian
region, and in particular to facilitate
the development and application
of experimental economics.
