Handbook of Research Methods and Applications in Experimental Economics

Handbooks of Research Methods and Applications series

Edited by Arthur Schram, Amsterdam School of Economics, the Netherlands and European University Institute, Italy and Aljaž Ule, Amsterdam School of Economics, the Netherlands and University of Primorska, Slovenia

This volume offers a comprehensive review of experimental methods in economics. Its 21 chapters cover theoretical and practical issues such as incentives, theory and policy development, data analysis, recruitment, software and laboratory organization. The Handbook includes separate parts on procedures, field experiments and neuroeconomics, and provides the first methodological overview of replication studies and a novel set-valued equilibrium concept. As a whole, the combination of basic methods and current developments will aid both beginners and advanced experimental economists.

‘This is a wonderful book. It is rare that a book collects chapters that both discuss experimental methods as well as research on the frontiers of knowledge. This is a must-read for both the novice and the veteran experimentalist as well as those outside the field.’
– Andrew Schotter, New York University, US
