Toddler Singlets Wrestling

Experience Experience (season 2010-2011)!

We propose that teachers participate in the development of a competitive market experience in the classroom by following an identical protocol for all participating classes.
The support is the Experiment 1 presented on this blog. The number of students
trading on the market must be even and between 16 and 32. The choice by the teacher in the number of students designated as assistants will help meet this requirement.
There are 7 trading periods, with changes in production costs of sellers to period 6.
Instructions and Results Sheet to distribute to students are available here: . or pdf doc.
numbers of playing cards for distribution (values of buyers and sellers of production costs) are predetermined.
The "Download files" gives you access to:

1. An Excel file providing, as the number of students: a table showing the numbers of playing cards to distribute to students, a table and 4 graphs summarizing theoretical predictions (calculation of surplus supply curves and demand equilibrium price and quantity) and a chart giving un exemple de transactions inefficaces.
2. Un fichier Excel permettant la saisie des résultats de l'expérience (autorisez les Macros). Le fichier est composé de 2 feuilles. La feuille "Saisie" ouvre une application vous permettant de saisir les transactions réalisées par les élèves. Si vous disposez d'un vidéo-projecteur et de suffisamment d'assistants, vous pouvez effectuer la saisie pendant que se déroule l'expérience ; vous pourrez alors montrer aux élèves, au cours de la discussion suivant l'expérience, les résultats de leurs négociations (feuille "Graphique"). Sinon, cette saisie peut être effectuée plus tard à partir des feuilles de résultats filled by students; graphics can then be printed and distributed to students.
3. A Powerpoint file presentation giving an example of exploiting the results of the experiment to facilitate the introduction of concepts and mechanisms related to competitive market.
