Laboratory Experiments

In order to participate in experiments conducted by researchers of the Faculty of Economics in EconTown, a person has to register online (http://www.orsee.org) and hand in this form signed to the Faculty. The signature can be done at the time of the first participation at an laboratory experiment.

By registering for laboratory experiments, you indicate your intention of taking part in experiments conducted by researchers of the Faculty.

Rules for laboratory experiments
  • For each experiment, a certain number of registered persons will get an invitation email. Only the invited persons have the right to take part in the experiment.
  • In case you get an email which invites you to participate in a particular experiment, you have to answer positively to this email in order to be able to take part in the experiment. By doing so, you indicate your commitment to participate.
  • For each experiment, an excess number of participants will be invited. The first invited persons arriving at the experiment's location will participate. Participants who are invited and may not participate in the experiment due to capacity constraints or other failures are compensated with the show up payment.
  • Every participant who is invited to an experiment and showed up in time will at least be compensated by a show up payment of € 2.50.
  • Usually, participation will be compensated in cash. The amount depends on the participant's and other participants' decisions during the experiment.
  • During an experiment, each participant will have to act upon the rules stated by the experimentalists in the instructions.
  • To ensure that only those people who have been invited and who positively answered to the invitation email take part in the experiment, participants are asked to carry an identity paper (with a picture on it) with them. A participant who does not carry an identity paper will not receive the show up payment and might not participate.
  • People who give their agreement to take part in a particular experiment have to keep in mind that if they do not turn up or turn up late then the experiment might be cancelled because of a lack of participants.

Therefore, by registering for laboratory experiments, you agree with the following statements:

I have been informed that if I do not turn up or turn up late for an experiment I have been enrolled for, this may lead to the experiment having to be cancelled. I am aware that I can be made liable for costs incurred from cancelled experiments if I do not inform the Faculty at least 24 hours ahead if I am not able to attend the experiment or provide any plausible reason for not being able to inform the Faculty in time or show up due to some unforeseeable incident.

Moreover, each time you do not turn up for an experiment you have been enrolled for without informing the experimentalists on time or providing any plausible reason, a distinctive mark will be added to your reputation score (see your personal data on the web site once you have registered online). The more distinctive marks you have the lower your chances to be invited for future experiments. Once your reputation score contains three distinctive marks, you will not be invited anymore to take part in experiments conducted by researchers of the Faculty.

In terms of insurance coverage, the rooms of the Faculty are protected under a statutory liability insurance police of civil law content. The Faculty of Economics will assume liability in the event of any damage that occurs through its own fault. No liability without fault clause is included herein.

Internet Experiments

The rules for Internet experiments will be announced at the registration page for the specific experiment.

Information notice pursuant to Article 13 of Legislative Decree No. 196/2003 “Personal Data Protection Code”

With Legislative Decree No. 196 of 30 June 2003, containing provisions for the protection of persons and other subjects with regard to the processing of personal data, the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna – Department of Economics, hereinafter referred to as the “Research Centre”, in its capacity as “Data Controller”, is required to provide certain information regarding the use of personal data.

Personal Data Source

Personal data held by the Research Centre is collected directly from volunteers. In the event that the Research Centre acquires data from external parties, information will be provided at the time of registration and in any case no later than the first possible communication. In any case, the processing of data will be based on the principles of correctness, lawfulness and transparency, protection of confidentiality and rights, which have always inspired the activities of the Research Centre.

Purpose of data processing

The data is processed as part of the normal activities of the Research Centre and for the following purposes:

1) the administrative and accounting procedures involving the processing of your data, so that the University can arrange for the payment of your remuneration;

2) the conduct of research specific to the Department of Economics. In particular, the aim is to analyse certain economic theories by studying individual and interactive decision-making processes and/or the possible factors that may influence them

3) the need to comply with legal obligations.

Data processing methods

Your personal and contact details will be processed solely for the purposes set out in points 1) and 3) of the list above. The processing of personal data, including sensitive data, for research purposes will instead be carried out using a code which will be assigned to participants at random at the start of the experiment, so as to uniquely identify the test taken and the amount to be paid to them. Data provided during the test (demographic questions or queries that may relate to your political or religious beliefs) will normally be processed anonymously; please note that in specific situations (for example, if you were the only participant to receive a particular payment, there could be a potential risk of identification). It should be noted, however, that under no circumstances may sensitive data be lawfully processed by the researchers for the purpose of identifying you. Data processing is carried out manually, with storage on paper and/or using electronic tools.

The data collected may be disclosed to other departments of the Alma Mater University of Bologna, as well as to public and private bodies, solely for the purpose of ensuring compliance with accounting, tax and legal obligations. The data may be disclosed to third parties for research purposes, but will be stripped of any direct identifying details (such as, for example, first name and surname). The data may also be disseminated in anonymous or aggregated form.

Whether the provision of data is mandatory or optional, and the consequences of failure to provide it

The provision of data is optional. Failure to provide the data required to carry out the specific obligations associated with the research may result in the Research Centre being unable to admit you to the trial. We would also like to point out that the provision of sensitive data is optional and that failure to provide such data will have no consequences. Rights of the data subject, including under Article 7 of Legislative Decree 196/2003 Article 7 of Legislative Decree 196/2003 grants data subjects specific rights. In particular, data subjects may obtain confirmation from the Research Centre, by writing to the Director of the Department of Economics, University of Bologna, Piazza Scaravilli 2, 40126 – Bologna, as to whether or not their personal data exist, and may request that such data be communicated in an intelligible form. Data subjects may also request information regarding the origin of the data, the purposes and methods of processing, as well as the logic applied in the event of processing carried out with the aid of electronic means, and details of the data controller, the designated data processors and the persons or categories of persons to whom the data may be disclosed or who may become aware of it. The data subject has the right to obtain the updating, rectification, supplementation, erasure, anonymisation or blocking of data processed in breach of the law.

The data subject also has the right to object, in whole or in part, on legitimate grounds, to the processing of personal data concerning them, even if such data are relevant to the purpose for which they were collected. These rights may be exercised, including through a designated representative, by submitting a request to the Research Centre.

Further information can be obtained from the Research Centre.

The Data Controller is Alma Mater Studiorum – University of Bologna – Via Zamboni, 33 – 40126 Bologna (BO). The Data Processor is the Director of the Department of Economics, Piazza Scaravilli 2, 40126 Bologna (BO).
