| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
"Easy Economic Experiment System (E3)" has been constructed, which is a web-based system for easily conducting economic experiments by using mobile phones.
We compared the average score of the post-quiz among three treatments; the experimental treatment in which students participated in the economic experiment for strategic form games after the short lecture for the introductory game theory, the observing treatment in which students looked on the experiment, and the lecture-only treatment in which students left the class after the lecture. This paper showed that the score of the experimental treatment and that of the observing treatment are significantly higher than that of the lecture-only treatment. Moreover, students' decisions in the experimental treatment were compared with students' decisions in the observing treatment in this paper, but the difference of two distributions was not significant. This fact suggests the validity of experiments using E3.
