Experimental Research Cluster
Discover our experimental research In economics, business and law
Members of the faculty of Business and Law have been conducting experimental research since 2002. A growing number of laboratory and online experiments led to the foundation of the Behavioural Analytics Research Laboratory (BARE Lab) in 2017 and finally the Experimental Research Cluster in 2023.
The cluster brings together researchers from various disciplines within the faculty of Business and Law and it includes a large group of collaborators from other faculties and universities, both in the UK and overseas. The cluster provides research support in all areas of behavioural and experimental research and allows members and collaborators access to the shared lab facilities and protocols for experimental research in the laboratory, online and in the field.
