该项目开发并应用了政治经济学中的实验室方法。指导该项目的广泛研究议程继续决定着它的长期重点。研究议程可以分为对市场的研究，以及关于投票、委员会和政治进程的工作。这位研究人员是主导经济学实验室实验的两位学者之一。他的工作开辟了新的研究路线，为科学严谨设定了高标准，并做出了实质性的重大贡献。他过去的成功表明，他可以继续这个富有成效的项目。该项目涉及市场的部分强调买卖双方之间的信息不对称、市场稳定、计算机化的市场和特殊的市场组织，如多维拍卖。关于投票的部分集中在委员会内部的信息传递，委员会的设计，以及委员会成员的道德和规范对委员会决策的影响。

This project develops and applies laboratory methods in political economy. A broad research agenda that has been guiding the project continues to dictate its long-range focus. The research agenda can be broken down into the study of markets and work on voting, committees and political processes. The investigator is one of two scholars who dominates laboratory experiments in economics. His work opens new lines of study, sets high standards for scientific rigor, and makes substantively significant contributions. His past success shows that he can continue this productive project. The part of the project dealing with markets emphasizes asymmetric information among buyers and sellers, market stability, computerized markets and special market organizations such as the multidimensional auctions. The part concerned with voting focuses on information transfer within committees, committee design, and the effect of the ethics and norms of committee members on committee decisions.
