Prior laboratory experiments have studied general equilibrium economies constructed from \induced preferences" for artificial goods. We introduce new methods that allow us to study economies constructed instead from subjects' actual, \homegrown" preferences. Our subjects reveal their preferences...

ConG is software for conducting economic experiments in continuous and discrete time. It allows experimenters with limited programming experience to create a variety of strategic environments featuring rich visual feedback in continuous time and over continuous action spaces, as well as in...

We introduce human traders into an agent based financial market simulation prone to bubbles and crashes. We find that human traders earn lower profits overall than do the simulated agents ("robots") but earn higher profits in the most crash-intensive periods. Inexperienced human traders tend to...
