Abstract:

A desirable agenda for experimental economics involves exploring new areas within behavioral economics, developing innovative experimental designs and applications in real-world settings, and fostering interdisciplinary collaborations to address complex economic questions. Key future directions include providing readers with potential avenues for research, testing the validity of economic theories, and using experimental insights to design better markets and institutions. The paper delves into the contributions of well-established researchers in economics and psychology about the viability of experimental data in labs and field settings and the inferences made out.
