Abstract

Economic experiments have only gained limited attention as research methods within the range of agricultural policy analysis. The aim of this paper is to reconsider basics of economic experiments and to compare them to other research methods. Finally, we will demonstrate one potential application area of experiments in a pre-test of cooperative's influence on production and control decisions.
