Welcome to LEcH!

LEcH stands for the Laboratory for Economic Experiments on Human Behaviour. In our computer lab, we study human behavior in economic decision-making situations. And for these research projects, we are looking for you!

Since the lab was founded in 2015, over 2,000 students have participated in our studies. After the pandemic disrupted our in-person experiments, we are starting anew in the summer semester of 2024 with new facilities and numerous projects.
