The UC Davis EconLab is bound by the UC Davis code for the Responsible Conduct of Research.

EconLab's research-ethics responsibilities include the proper safeguarding of data collected during an experiment. EconLab takes the following steps to meet its confidentiality requirements:

  • All data collected during registration is stored on a server that is accessible only to Economics research staff. These data are used only for the purpose of recruiting subjects to participate in EconLab experiments.
  • Any personally-identifying data collected during an experiment (e.g., your name) is processed according to the approved ethics document of the respective study. Usually, any personal information is replaced with a code number, and the list linking code numbers to personally-identifying data is kept separate from the experimental data.
  • Any forms containing personally-identifying information (e.g., informed consent) are stored in secure locations.

All experiments listed on this website have been approved by the UC Davis Institutional Review Board. This ensures that someone other than the experimenter has determined that the procedures for a study follow strict ethical guidelines.

As a human-subject participant with EconLab, it is your right to lodge a complaint if you believe that sensitive information about you collected during an experiment has not actually been kept confidential. If you have any complaints/questions as a research participant with Econlab, please contact the UC Davis Institutional Review Board by phone: 916 703 9158 or by email: HS-IRBEducation@ucdavis.edu
