Abstract
The advancement of experimental economics brought with it refinements in the classroom games and simulations used in the teaching of economics. In this lead article, Williams and Walker introduce the use of experiments in the teaching of economics via three computerized exercises that are a byproduct of their research: the monopoly posted-offer market exercise, a free rider activity, and a stock market experiment.Keywords
