The Methodology of Experimental Economics - Francesco Guala

Popis produktu

This book provides the first comprehensive analysis and critical discussion of the methodology of experimental economics, written by a philosopher of science with expertise in the field. It outlines the fundamental principles of experimental inference in order to investigate their power, scope, and limitations. The author demonstrates that experimental economists have a lot to gain by discussing openly the philosophical principles that guide their work, and that philosophers of science have a lot to learn from the ingenious techniques devised by experimenters in order to tackle difficult scientific problems.
