I'm happy to welcome Don Green (Columbia University) to the University of Zurich for a 20-hours workshop marathon on field experiments. Thanks to the Department of Political Science for the generous support. Below are some impressions from the first and second day. The workshop is open to UZH and ETH graduate students, visitors, as well as Policy Lab participants.
