J. R. G: What is Experimental Economics?
J. R. G: How were you able to reproduce market conditions in the laboratory?
J. R. G: You have performed the experiments with people of many different cultures and ages, and they all behave remarkably the same. Is this one of your conclusions?
J. R. G: Another remarkable phenomenon is that people tend to converge to the market equilibrium, even if they don't know what the final outcome will be...
J. R. G: What have you learned about what happens when the government intervenes in the market?
F. T: In Guatemala many people believe that the government should play a role in making electricity available to the part of the population that doesn't have those services; so they dispute the idea that the power industry should be profit-seeking. Why is it important that it be so?
F. T: Therefore, what we need to do is to foster competition in the power industry...

About this video

Vernon L. Smith sits down with José Raúl González and Fritz Thomas to talk about experimental economics. He explains how he was able to reproduce the market conditions by representing the economic diversity and by assigning production costs to those who played the role of producers and consumer costs to those who played the role of buyers. He focuses on how people tend to converge to the market equilibrium without knowing what the final outcome may be and also comments that this equilibrium is reached when people do their best for their own benefit without any constraints. Smith emphasizes the important role that experimental economics plays in the academic world as well as the motivation it gives to students.
