论经济学实验的科学设计

Scientific Design of Economics Experiments

实验经济学利用经济学实验检验已有的经济理论 ,发现新的经济规律。经济学实验方法不仅在理论上取得了丰富的成果 ,而且也解决了一些实际问题。设计科学的经济学实验 ,是想采用实验方法进行研究的经济学家所必须面对的首要问题。从实验程序标准化、货币激励显著化、实验语言无偏化、比较基准明确化、与现实的一致性等五个方面讨论如何设计科学的经济学实验 ,是构建经济学实验的重要方向。

Experimental economics uses economics experiments to verify existing economic theories and discover new economic laws. Experimentation in economics has gained abundant results not only in economic theory, but also in the natural world. The design of economics experiments is the primary problem that economists who want to conduct an experimental investigation will confront with. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how to scientifically design economics experiments.
