Laboratory experiments give researchers a great deal of control, making them useful for testing analytical models. In this monograph I discuss methodological issues in designing and conducting laboratory experiments. I also summarize some of the recent advances in using laboratory experiments in Operations Management.

We propose a new MDS paradigm called readeraware multi-document summarization (RA-MDS). Specifically, a set of reader comments associated with the news reports are also collected. The generated summaries from the reports for the event should be salient according to not only the reports but also the reader comments. To tackle this RAMDS problem, we propose a sparse-coding-based method that is ab...

The emerging field of experimental economics uses human experiments to answer research and policy questions. This article discusses the methodology used in economics experiments, describes what experiments can tell the legal researcher and practitioner, and provides examples of economics experiments as used in legal settings. Additionally, the article provides some guidelines for conducting eco...

We demonstrate the possibility of conducting synchronous, repeated, multi-game economic decision-making experiments with hundreds subjects in-person or remotely live streaming using entirely mobile platforms. Our experiment provides important proof-of-concept that such are not only possible, but yield recognizable results as well new insights, blurring line between laboratory and field experime...

A project is under way at the University of Michigan to develop a design verification methodology for microprocessor hardware based on modeling design errors and generating simulation vectors for the modeled errors via physical fault testing techniques. We have developed a method to systematically collect design error data, and gathered concrete error data from a number of microprocessor design...
