EconLab

Laboratory for Experimental Economics and Big Data Processing

EconLab is a teaching and research laboratory at EF TUL, which serves as a platform for experimental, behavioral and quantitative research and the introduction of modern methods into teaching. The laboratory was established in 2018 with the support from the OP Science, Research and Education.

 

The workplace is equipped with 25 workstations for students and experiment participants. The workstations are partitioned. Another laboratory component is separate background for control and evaluation of experiments. The hardware of the laboratory is complemented by appropriate software, in particular complete IBM analytical data processing solution software, i.e. from data analysis to prediction on datamining (Data Collection, SPSS Statistics, SPSS Modeler), SW for automatic recognition and analysis of facial expressions including refinement methods (e.g. digital photoplethysmography) Noldus FaceReader v.8 and SW for Z-Tree economic experiments, i.e. environment for design and realization of economic experiments.

At EconLab there are currently solved R&D tasks within the projects of basic and applied research and development projects:
