The Impact of Classroom Experiments on the Learning of Economics: An Empirical Investigation

Bjorn Frank

Economic Inquiry, 1997, vol. 35, issue 4, 763-69

Abstract: This paper provides limited evidence on the effectiveness of a simple classroom experiment. In different courses in environmental economics or public finance, a brief take-some game was performed. Students who took part in this classroom experiment, as well as those who just watched it, were more successful in answering a multiple-choice test on the 'tragedy of the commons' than control groups from the same courses.
