LABoratory of Experimental ANalysis
On this webpage, you can find a selection of scientific papers that have emerged directly from research conducted at Bilbao LABEAN, as well as other studies developed in collaboration with or supported by our experimental infrastructure.
These papers reflect the diversity of topics we address in the laboratory—from individual decision-making to complex interactions in markets and organizations—and show how experimental methodology contributes to advancing economic and social knowledge.
