Handbook on Experimental Economics and the Environment

Edited by John A. List, Kenneth C. Griffin Distinguished Service Professor of Economics and Chairman of the Economics Department, University of Chicago, US and Michael K. Price, Department of Economics, Georgia State University and the NBER, US

Laboratory and field experiments have grown significantly in prominence over the past decade. The experimental method provides randomization in key variables therefore permitting a deeper understanding of important economic phenomena. This path-breaking volume provides a valuable collection of experimental work within the area of environmental and resource economics and showcases how laboratory and field experiments can be used for both positive and normative purposes.

‘Until not much more than 20 years ago, economists frequently lamented the fact that they were limited in their empirical analyses to statistical assessments of market behavior, because controlled economic experiments were (thought to be) infeasible, unethical, or both. Much has changed in the intervening years! In this new volume, John List, Michael Price, and their co-authors provide a diverse set of applications of experimental approaches to the environmental economics realm. This is among the most promising of new areas of research in the economics of the environment, and this book provides a superb point of entry for experts and novices alike.’

这卷ume is likely to have great value for experienced economic experimentalists looking to keep abreast of new developments in the field across a range of environmental issues. Experienced researchers can make use of the individual chapters most relevant to their own work, and will find the theoretical and technical detail offered to be highly useful.’
