The Early History of Experimental Economics

Author

Listed:
  • Roth, Alvin E.

Abstract

In the course of coediting the Handbook of Experimental Economics (forthcoming) it became clear to me that contemporary experimental economists tend to carry around with them different and very partial accounts of the history of this still emerging field. This project began as an attempt to merge these “folk histories†of the origins of what I am confident will eventually be seen as an important chapter in the history and sociology of economics.
