Charles Mason

Charles "Chuck" Mason Graduate Research Award

The Charles Mason Graduate Research Award was generously created by Prof. John List and Dana Suskind with matching funds from the College of Business at the University of Wyoming. The award will facilitate and support research that combines theory with laboratory, or preferably field, experiments. A key distinction is that theory is intertwined with the experiment in a way that is in the spirit of Chuck’s research. Examples of such research includes work on randomization identifying structural models, but the committee will consider a broad range of proposals within the area of theory with experimentation.
