The Laboratory for Experimental Research in Economics and Management is an innovative laboratory, that allows the implementation of studies of experimental nature in the domains of economics, management and behavioral science.
LERNE was created in 2013 and is composed of two distinct areas: the Research Lab, equipped with individual work stations, for the collection of individual and psychological data; and the Retail Lab, which consists of a supermarket area where a retail environment is recreated, for the collection of data in a controlled shopping/purchasing environment.
The Retail Lab layout is fully transformable, enabling the use of the space for different types of studies, such as experimental group studies, focus groups or interviews.
