Professional Experiments

Reaching the goal with the right experimental setup

Professional Experiments

Experimental economic and social research has become an essential part of modern scientific research. Lab and online experiments are now used to address numerous different issues. At the same time, the requirements for an experimental design have increased steadily in recent years. The trend towards more online experiments also poses new challenges for many scientists. With my experience, I can help you to address these challenges. 

Programming with oTree

OTree is a python-based software for experimental research. The fields of application are very flexible. By running in the browser, experiments look optically very professional. I can help here as follows:

  • Programming with oTree

  • Professional presentation of experiments

  • Creation of questionnaires

  • Implementation of quotas for quota control

  • Consulting for the implementation of the experimental design

Server Set-Up

Set up your own virtual machine (Linux server) as an internal experimental server. This way you are independent from other service providers and do not have to store your data on foreign servers. I am pleased to help you with this: 

  • Preparation of a suitable virtual Linux environment

  • Installation of oTree

  • Database creation

  • Set up multiple system users

  • Web server setup including domain setup and SSL certificate implementation​​​

Support for online experiments

The biggest challenge in online experiments is usually to obtain qualitatively valid data and to find the appropriate platform for conducting them. For this purpose I offer the following services:

  • Advising on the selection of various providers with regard to implementation, such as ProlificRespondi, Clickworker or MTurk

  • Adaptation of the code to the respective platform

  • Conducting the experiments

  • Implementation of comprehension tests as well as attention questions

  • Consulting and implementation for different payment methods​​

Realization

I will be happy to set up the experiment on the server for you. So you can run the experiments comfortably from the admin interface of oTree: 

  • Complete installation of the experiment on my Linux server

  • You will receive a login and have full access to your data​​​
