Introduction I am Professor of Experimental Economics and Head of the Department of Economics at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. I am the author, most recently, of "Experiments in Economics: Playing Fair with Money" published by Routledge. This book provides an easy to follow guide to economic experiments and specifically those that explore notions of fairness, altruism and trust in economic transactions and how findings in the field can change the way we approach a variety of economic problems such as pricing by firms, written contracts between parties, making voluntary contributions to charity or the provision of micro-credit to small entrepreneurs. Between 2007 and 2010, I was the the Editor-in-chief of the New Zealand Economic Papers a high quality scholarly journal published by Taylor and Francis on behalf of the New Zealand Association of Economists. I am currenlty Associate Editor of three leading scholarly journals - the Journal of Economic Psychology, the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and the Journal of Socio-Economics. All three are published by Elsevier.
