Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
June 15-19, 2009
General information:
Macroeconomic theories have traditionally been tested using non-
experimental “field” data. However, modern, micro-founded
macroeconomic models can also be tested in the laboratory, and
researchers have begun to pursue such experimental tests. This June,
graduate students specializing in macroeconomics or experimental
economics, as well as junior faculty members and researchers of
macroeconomic are invited to attend the third LeeX summer school
devoted to experimental macroeconomics research.
The intensive 5-day summer school will be offered at Universitat
Pompeu Fabra from June 15-19, 2009. Students will be taught
experimental methods and exposed to a number of macroeconomic
applications that have been tested experimentally. This year’s program
will focus on laboratory studies relevant to the current global
financial crisis. Students will be asked to participate in
experiments and to develop their own experimental macroeconomic
projects. Faculty will assist with and critique these projects.
For a detailed outline of the program, lectures and application
procedures, please visit the website

The deadline for applications is April 13, 2009.
