Cambridge Experimental and Behavioural Economics Group
CEBEG is an interdisciplinary research group which brings together researchers and PhD students interested in experimental and behavioural economics.
Who we are
The Cambridge Experimental and Behavioural Economics Group (CEBEG) is a research group established to facilitate and advance experimental research in economics and management at the University of Cambridge.
Apart from bringing together researchers who are interested in experimental research in the social sciences arena, CEBEG provides an experimental laboratory and a subject pool database for University members. CEBEG is part of Cambridge Judge Business School.
Features of CEBEG
- Lab space with 21 computers. The Lab is equipped with wristbands to measure physical reactions, an emotion recognition software, and z-Tree, a software to build economics experiments. Researchers can run both standalone and networked experiments, and those involving personal interaction or team work.
- A participant pool of over 1,500 members mostly comprised of University of Cambridge students. Invitations for experiments can be sent to the entire participant pool or can be targeted based on gender, age, and other characteristics.
- An online registration system that enables researchers and participants to conveniently schedule and sign up for experiments.
- Regular workshops and other interdisciplinary platforms to exchange knowledge on social science experiments.
Get involved
Participate in an experiment
CEBEG carries out a number of exciting experiments throughout the year and we always need new volunteers. It is not only fun and a good learning experience to participate in experiments, you also get an average pay of £10 per hour.
Conduct research
Part of Cambridge Judge Business School, CEBEG provides an experimental laboratory and a subject pool database for members of the University of Cambridge who wish to conduct experimental research in economics and management.
Lab resources
The Experimental Lab Manager can provide advice on running online experiments. Contact the Experimental Lab Manager to discuss resources for creating simple surveys or more complex experiments that allow group interaction.
