The Online Laboratory: Conducting Experiments in a Real Labor Market
Online labor markets have great potential as platforms for conducting experiments. They provide immediate access to a large and diverse subject pool, and allow researchers to control the experimental context. Online experiments, we show, can be just as valid—both internally and externally—as laboratory and field experiments, while often requiring far less money and time to design and conduct. T...
متن کاملConducting interactive experiments online
Online labor markets provide new opportunities for behavioral research, but conducting economic experiments online raises important methodological challenges. This particularly holds for interactive designs. In this paper, we provide a methodological discussion of the similarities and differences between interactive experiments conducted in the laboratory and online. To this end, we conduct a r...
متن کاملA Web-based Algorithm Analysis Tool: An Online Laboratory for Conducting Sorting Experiments
In this paper, an on-line laboratory is described in which students can test theoretical analyses of the runtime efficiency of common sorting algorithms. The laboratory contains an applet that allows students to select an algorithm with a type of data distribution and sample size and view the number of compares required to sort a particular instance of that selection. It provides worksheets for...
متن کاملHonesty in an Online Labor Market
The efficient functioning of markets and institutions assumes a certain degree of honesty from participants. In labor markets, for instance, employers benefit from employees who will render meaningful work, and employees benefit from employers who will pay the promised amount for services rendered. We use an established method for detecting dishonest behavior in a series of experiments conducte...
متن کاملA Conceptual Methodology for Conducting Faster Than Real Time Experiments
Faster than real time simulation concepts are nowadays applied in multidisciplinary areas. Interaction between the real world and the simulation model is performed in real time, so that information obtained from each system is used to enhance our knowledge of the other. Even if such capabilities prove to be useful for real time applications, dealing with the requirements imposed is only accompl...
