Synopsis :

Experimental economics is a rapidly growing field of inquiry, and there currently exist several textbooks and surveys describing the results of laboratory experiments in economics. This primer, however, is the first hands-on guide to the physical aspects of actually conducting experiments in economics. It tells researchers, teachers and students in economics how to deal with human subjects, how to design meaningful laboratory environments, how to design experiments, how to conduct experiments and how to analyse and report the data. It also deals with methodological issues. It can be used to structure an undergraduate or graduate course in experimental economics.

"Dan Friedman and Shyam Sunder have been outstanding contributors to the development and maturation of experimental economics. They are particularly qualified to write this Primer dealing with methodology, tips, techniques, and tools that go with doing experiments. Their book will both complement and supplement the new books that have appeared in this high-growth segment of economics." Vernon L. Smith, University of Arizona
