Remember, you can enter the experiment up to 30 minutes before it starts. It's recommended to get their at least 15 minutes beforehand to insure that everything is working properly on your computer. If you encounter difficulties, run the configuration test. If that doesn't work please call me at 832-257-2592. Below are sample screen shots of what you are likely to see in the experiment. The first one shows you your role, the second one gives you an update of the market in progress, and the last one is a graph of the economic impact of a price ceiling and the effect it has on consumer and producer surplus and overall economic welfare. One more thing, if you enter the experiment even just a few seconds late you will only be able to be an observer. I have no control over this as the computer is in charge of assigning roles. Please read the Quick-Start Guide below.
