Hi Dan, I follow your work since you first started your irrationality module on coursera, and I've been keen on the behavioral/experimental path in my degree since.
I'm a third year student in Political Economy at King's College London, focusing mostly on economics. My dissertation proposal is in two months and I would really love to conduct an experiment for it, rather than a quantitative/econometric analysis. My experiment would ideally focus on whether better educated people give systematically different responses to political/economic questions than the population at large, and why. What are your suggestions on the logistics of the experiment? Do you think it is feasible for an undergraduate project? How do I recruit people in the most unbiased way? How do I make sure response is unbiased if I don't have the funding to pay the subjects?
