With its theme of "Using Physical Measures to Better Explain Choice", the workshop attracted approximately 60 scholars from the realm of experimental economics and other related fields to participate. The workshop gave participants from all over the world the opportunity to share their latest research discoveries, exchange ideas and organize future cooperation. Over forty presentations incorporating or analyzing controlled experiments using human subjects were delivered. The workshop consisted of 4 parallel sessions, covering topics related to Industrial Organization, Chinese Culture, Finance, Individual Choice, Field Experiments, Coordination, Public Goods and Externalities, Cooperation, Markets and Behavioral Game Theory, etc. Key-note speakers included Prof. David Cesarini from New York University, Prof. Soo Hong Chew from National University of Singapore, Prof. Marie Claire Villeval from CNRS, University of Lyon, Prof. Burkhard Schipper from University of California - Davis and Prof. Roberto Weber from University of Zurich.

As an affiliate of WISE and the Ministry of Education Key Laboratory in Econometrics, the Finance and Economics Experimental Laboratory (FEEL) plays an important role in the organization of this conference. The mission of FEEL is to become a leading institute in experimental economics and finance research. FEEL frequently organizes experiments on economics behaviors and has invited more than 2600 students to participate these tests since its establishment in September 2010.
