Over the next few weeks the
Economics department is running some experiments to help us understand how
couples make decisions. We are looking to recruit established couples to take
part in lunchtime or after work experiments. These should last no longer than
an hour. Typical earnings will be around £20 per person with the chance to earn
over £40 each.
All we ask is that couples
- are over 21
- have been together for more than 1 year
- are living together on a permanent basis as a couple
If you know any couples who fit the requirements, please
encourage them to get in contact. For more information and session times,
please contact:

Further
details.
- The experiment lasts about an
hour and involves making a series of choices.
-
Everything will take place in the Economics Experimental Lab (next to the
Careers centre on the ground floor of the Horton Building).
- The prizes you and your partner
may win will depend on your choices and on chance.
- There’s no deception involved
and this is not a test of skill.
- Typically earnings will be
around £20 per person, but they could be as high as £45 per person.
- We do want only established
couples - meaning that you should have been together for at least a year
and that you live together. It would be helpful if you have some proof of
this.
- It doesn’t matter if you are
both at Royal Holloway or not. In fact if you have friends from outside
the college who fit the bill and are available we’d love to hear from
them.
- For the lunchtime sessions you
are welcome to bring your sandwiches and eat as you experiment.
- Please also bring a pen each.
- Currently planned sessions:
- 17th
April – 1.00
- 18th April - 12.00
- 24th April -1.00
- 25th April - 12.00
- Can’t make these times? We’ll
have more later in April and in May.
