A colleague asked me this this morning, and although there are quite a few UL people a-tweeting, not many of my KBS colleagues are at it. I told him I’d write him a blog post in exchange for him leaving a comment (he asked me what comments were).
So this post is a sort of learning by doing post for one chap in particular, and maybe might help others in figuring out the twitter. Thankfully there’s a nice video to help us all get smarterer:

Here’s the text and slides of a talk I’m giving in NUI, Maynooth on Friday at a one day symposium on economics and psychology organised by those fine fire-proof chaps (and chapettes) at UCD’s Geary Institute. The talk introduces the Computable and Experimental Economics laboratory, iCEEL.
Abstract. Computable economics is the recasting of economics using the mathematics of the digital computer to make economic questions algorithmic and therefore decidable, so that empirical estimation and the resulting policy recommendations may be more concrete (Velupillai, 2000). Experimental economics is the use of laboratory controls in asking empirical economic questions (Kagel and Roth, 1997}. This talk describes the activities of Ireland’s first experimental economics laboratory, iCEEL.
