Return from Italy

I am now returned to Dresden after a 3 days in Italy. That was an international confrence on political economy and experimental economics in Siena. The experimental economics is a new topic, focusing on testing behaviour of people as an economic agents in Labs on the base of theoritical models. The major attention devoted to applications of game theories. I had also presented a paper on corruption panel about estimation of smuggling as a latent variable for the case of Iran.

Interesting point for me also was meeting Dr.Nili from Sharif University who I found him open-mind and informative economist. Next week, I will go to Passau for a workshop on economics of corruption organized by Passau University. I will give some updates about it later.
