In 2002, IFREE-founder Dr. Vernon Smith was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for "having established laboratory experiments as a tool in empirical economic analysis, especially in the study of alternative market mechanisms."
Shanghai Jiao Tong University Smith Experimental Economics Research Center Update
In 2004, Vernon Smith helped to establish the first laboratory for experimental economics in China: the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Smith Experimental Economics Research Center. With the generous help from IFREE, Vernon and his colleagues conducted the first Experimental Economics Workshop in China in 2005 in Shanghai.

Antai College of Economics and Management
Many young Chinese economists learned their first lesson of experimental economics from the workshop, and experimental economics has subsequently become one of the focus areas of the economics program at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. Vernon has visited Shanghai Jiao Tong University three times. His enthusiasm and encouragement have nurtured the development of the experimental economics program in China, and in particular at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
Students from the program have been accepted in leading graduate programs in U.S. universities such as George Mason University, University of Arizona, Stanford University, Duke University, New York University, Michigan University, University of California at Riverside, etc.
