It also examines practical issues of using laboratory experiments as a teaching tool.

Over the years, many governments, including the United States and Canada, have launched a major shift to what are sometimes called "incentive based" pollution control procedures. Because these proposed systems inherently required institutional design, they constituted a natural domain for laboratory experimental economics research.

Presents an introduction to the issues and applications of experimental economics. This volume examines the methodology of field experiments, and offers various applications of field experiments.

Research in Experimental Economics is a series of edited research volumes focused on laboratory experimental economics, first published in 1979 with founding editor Vernon L. Smith. Volume 16 of the series focuses around the themes of experiments in financial economics.

Volume 17 entitled 'Experiments in Macroeconomics', of the Research in Experimental Economics Book Series is the first-ever collection by leading researchers in the field of laboratory studies aimed at understanding macroeconomic phenomena.

This volume highlights the importance of replicating previous economic experiments for understanding the robustness and generalizability of behavior. Readers will gain a better understanding of the role that replication plays in scientific discovery as well as valuable insights into the robustness of previously reported findings.

The contributions in this volume discuss new approaches to the measurement of culture and how to conceptualize and define values and beliefs and the groups that share them, and they contribute to the growing body of literature that documents how cultural differences in social and economic behavior.

Experimental Law and Economics focuses on experimental and empirical investigations into both the economic effects of the law and how economic theories can explain the behavior of individuals within a legal system.
