Project X hosts Quantitative Research Training Series

Written By Richard Kirkham

This Project X training was held in collaboration with the University of Bath.

Experimental Design Research Methods Training

This course was held as a series of online workshops running weekly between 26th May to the 28th July 2020. A total of 12 Project X researchers were able to attend, present a research proposal and engage in group discussion.

The course aimed to:

  • Introduce Experimental Design as a research method, covering its strengths and challenges

  • Build familiarity with seminal texts through a ‘Journal Club’ style of student presentations

  • Develop skills in designing experimental research

Tutor: Dr Sam Johnson, University of Bath

Sam is an Assistant Professor at the University of Bath. He studies the cognitive science of markets: how the minds of individuals give rise to emergent economic order, with a focus on tools that consumers, investors, and voters use to process information. These tools include heuristics for understanding causation, intuitive theories for making sense of economic behavior, and narrative frameworks for making predictions.
