Experiments are a central methodology in the social sciences.
Scholars from every discipline regularly turn to experiments.
Practitioners rely on experimental evidence in evaluating social
programs, policies, and institutions. This book is about how to
"think" about experiments. It argues that designing a good
experiment is a slow moving process (given the host of
considerations) which is counter to the current fast moving
temptations available in the social sciences. The book includes
discussion of the place of experiments in the social science
process, the assumptions underlying different types of experiments,
the validity of experiments, the application of different designs,
how to arrive at experimental questions, the role of replications
in experimental research, and the steps involved in designing and
conducting "good" experiments. The goal is to ensure social science
research remains driven by important substantive questions and
fully exploits the potential of experiments in a thoughtful manner.
