Alexia reviewed Experimental economics by Nick Bardsley
Review of 'Experimental economics' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This book differs from Hagel and Roth ([b:The Handbook of Experimental Economics|389182|The Handbook of Experimental Economics|Alvin E. Roth|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1382942530s/389182.jpg|378799]) and Davis and Holt ([b:Experimental Economics|3045061|Experimental Economics|Douglas D. Davis|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1403190088s/3045061.jpg|3075711]) in that it does not limit itself to a review of experimental findings, organized by type of games analyzed.
This book positions itself indeed at a higher level and is meant to assess the scientific basis of the field and its methods. The book can sometime be relatively hard to follow, but its insights are worth it and I learned a lot from it about the scientific method more generally.
It is rare nowadays that researchers would devote such effort to a book, and I appreciate all the more this first truly collaborative work by experts in the field who strive to provide a reference for other researchers to use as a basis for reflection.
