The conduct of most of social science occurs outside the
laboratory. Such studies in field science explore phenomena that
cannot for practical, technical, or ethical reasons be explored
under controlled conditions. These phenomena cannot be fully
isolated from their environment or investigated by manipulation or
intervention. Yet measurement, including rigorous or clinical
measurement, does provide analysts with a sound basis for
discerning what occurs under field conditions, and why. Science
Outside the Laboratory explores the state of measurement theory,
its reliability, and the role expert judgment plays in field
investigations from the perspective of the philosophy of science.
Its discussion of the problems of passive observation, the calculus
of observation, the two-model problem, and model-based consensus
uses illustrations drawn primarily from economics. The treatment
clarifies the extent to which measurement provides valid
information about objects and events in field sciences, but also
has implications for measurement in the laboratory.
