Experimental Economics

Aims & Scope

Experimental Economics is an international journal that serves the growing group of economists around the world who use experimental methods.

The journal invites high-quality papers in any area of experimental research in economics and related fields (i.e. accounting, finance, political science, and the psychology of decision making).

State-of-the-art theoretical work and econometric work that is motivated by experimental data is also encouraged.

The journal will also consider articles with a primary focus on methodology or replication of controversial findings.

We welcome experiments conducted in either the laboratory or in the field.
