3 Frechette, Guillaume R (ed)
Handbook of experimental economic methodology / Guillaume
R. Frechette and Andrew Schotter.-- New York: Oxford
University Press, 2015.
viii, 477p. , 27cm.
ISBN : 9780195328325.
330.072 FRE 143886
This book aims to confront and debate the issues faced
by the growing field of experimental economics. For
example, as experimental work attempts to test theory, it
raises questions about the proper relationship between
theory and experiments. As experimental results are used
to inform policy, the utility of these results outside
the lab is questioned, and finally, as experimental
economics tries to integrate ideas from other disciplines
like psychology and neuroscience, the question of their
proper place in the discipline of economics becomes less
clear.
