I have conducted (am in the process of conducting) some economics experiments using WWW interface. Papers and data from my experiments will be available soon. The website for my experiements is:

NTU Virtual Experimental Lab

My experimental economic site is WWW based, and experiments can be accessed and implemented anywhere as long as internet connection is available. It does not require a lab, although there is an advantage of conducting WWW based experiments in a lab as it enables us to control and monitor our experiments better.

Useful Resources:

A WWW based experiment is helpful when a fully dedicated experimental economics lab (with dedicated server and administrator) is not available and a paper based economics experiment is logistically difficult to handle.Olivier Kirchkamp from Friedrich-Schiller University in Jena (Germany) provides an excellent guide for setting up a WWW based experiment. His guide has been extremely useful for me.

Alternatively, z-Tree, a software developed by Urs Fischbacher from the Department of Economics, University of Konstanz – Germany can be also used.
