Experimental economists are leaving the reservation. They are
recruiting subjects in the field rather than in the classroom,
using field goods rather than induced valuations, and using field
context rather than abstract terminology in instructions. This
volume examines the methodology of field experiments, and offers a
wide array of applications of field experiments.
The methodological issues revolve around the ability of field
experimenters to ensure the same degree of control that lab
experimenters claim. The applications cover issues such as risk and
time preferences of the Danish population, savings decisions of the
Canadian working poor, differences between the social preferences
of American students and workers, the effect of educational
vouchers on American school children, and differences in bargaining
behavior across nations. This volume serves as an introduction to
the issues and applications of this new area of experimental
economics.
