Political Experiments Research Lab (PERL)

The MIT Political Experiments Research Lab (MIT-PERL) was created in Fall 2010. PERL will allow researchers in the Political Science department to conduct experiments on campus, off site at community centers, and over the internet, all
using state of the art experimental software.

Directed by Professor Adam Berinsky and staffed by graduate and undergraduate students, PERL will help scholars through each stage of the process of running experiments -- from designing experiments to recruiting subjects and conducting studies. PERL will provide a flexible infrastructure for scholars interested in running experiment. The goal is to make it possible for faculty and graduate students to run experiments at minimal cost.
