Welcome to the elfe!

Welcome to the website of the Essen Laboratory for Experimental Economics (elfe). Since December 2008, researchers have the opportunity to observe and analyze human behavior and the effects of different communication structures using state-of-the-art technology. You are cordially invited to get more information about the elfe (FAQ), to take part in experiments and to earn money!

Please note:

Since the management of elfe is currently not occupied, experiments take place only occasionally.

If you have any questions regarding elfe, you can contact the Chair of Quantitative Economic Policy or Experimental Economic Research (https://www.wipo.wiwi.uni-due.de/en/profile/) or the Dean's Office of the Faculty of Business Administration and Economics (https://www.wiwi.uni-due.de/en/organisation/deans-office/).
