Welcome to Joseph Tao-yi Wang's homepage. 

I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Economics, National Taiwan University

I was a Postdoctoral Scholar in Economics at the Division of Humanities and Social Sciences, Caltech.

I received my PhD from Department of Economics, UCLA.

 

What's New:

[11/11/09] If you are an undergraduate student majoring (or double-majoring) in economics, you might want to consider this exchange program: BESAP.  The department provides partial support to the best students who apply.

[10/21/09] Curious about what I do in research?  Here are some introduction to my field of research (listed from broad to specific): 實驗經濟學簡介 (Introduction to Experimental Economics, in Chinese), 神經經濟學簡介 (Introduction to Neuroeconomics, in Chinese), and Pupil Dilation and Eyetracking (book chapter in preperation).

[ 9 /15/09] The final version of the Pinocchio paper is here.  You may also want to check out my new paper with Chun-Ting Chen and Chen-Ying Huang on Spatial Beauty Contest games.

[ 5 /19/09] The behavioral and experimental economics discussion group (started by myself, Cheng-Chen Yang at Academia Sinica and Chen-Ying Huang at NTU) is hosting mini-courses on the popular experimental software zTree taught by Filip Vesely (5/25-26).
