Pre-requisites:

There is no set textbook, but you need to have basic knowledge on experimental economics, such as those taught in Experimental Economics I: Behavioral Game Theory.  If you have not taken that course, you will have to either take the online version (on Coursera) concurrently, or pick things up yourself by utilizing NTU OCW or reading the BGT textbook, Colin F. Camerer (2003), Behavioral Game Theory, Princeton University Press.
