The Center for Research in Experimental Economics and Political Decision making is a research institute at the Faculty of Economics and Econometrics, University of Amsterdam.

Its research program consists of three main projects:

Economics of Political Decision Making. The project focuses on the analysis of the behavior of political decision makers, its consequences for government policies, and the impact on the economy.
Bounded Rationality and Institutions. In this project fundamental aspects of individual decision making are investigated.
Experimental Economics.Here the method of laboratory experimentation is used to study economic problems. Research in this project is particularly stimulated by, and provides feedback for, the two projects mentioned above.

CREED is located on the seventh floor of the E2 building at Roetersstraat 11, Amsterdam.
CREED can be reached easily by public transport, see the public transport planning site 9292.nl and consult maps.google.nl if you come walking.

CREED has three laboratories (the Large lab, the Small lab and the Communication lab) and one reception room in which the subjects can be briefed before the experiment starts (conveniently between the large and small laboratories). The large lab has 31 cubicles with computers and the small one 22 cubicles. Both laboratories are connected to the same network which makes it possible to run sessions with up to 53 participants.

The Communication lab has 16 soundproof cubicles with video capabilities.

All computers have Windows installed.

Our experiments mostly use web-based software (php-mysql) developed by the researchers themselves. Occasionally Z-tree is used.
