Dr. Serra is a professor at Southern Methodist University and inaugural Vernon L. Smith Ascending Scholar Prize.
January 09-13, 2018, The 23rd Annual Visiting Graduate Student Workshop in Experimental Economics was held at the Economic Science Institute at Chapman University. Twenty doctoral students from around the world spent a week participating in experiments and learning about experimental economics.
Participants enjoy the unique workshop structure of using experiments. “I would highly recommend the workshop to others,” said one participant. “It is an unusual but extremely helpful procedure to participate in experiments first and then have a presentation about exactly this experiment and related topics. It gives a better and by far more interesting insight in ongoing top-level research than “just” presentations, since it definitely provides a deeper level of understanding.”

IFREE Grant Recipients, Amos Nadler et al., wanted to study just that. Using male participants, the researchers divided them into two groups. One group received a placebo treatment and the other received a topical gel containing andro 400 testosterone. The participants traded in a market experiment. The research, published in Management Science, shows that increasing testosterone in men increases bid prices, generates larger and longer-lasting bubbles, and slows the incorporation of fundamental value. This is the first experimental study to study how testosterone affects trading and prices. The research results have wide implications outside the laboratory and are significant to consider when discussing the stock market and other financial markets.
