Abstract

L’économie comportementale et l’économie expérimentale ont connu un formidable essor au cours des dernie`res décennies. L’objectif de cet article est de présenter, au travers d’un cadre général d’analyse et d’exemples d’applications, l’intére^t de l’économie expérimentale pour l’évaluation des politiques publiques sur le marché du travail. L’économie expérimentale et les méthodes alternatives existantes apparaissent alors comme des outils d’analyse complémentaires dans l’étude des politiques publiques. En particulier, les résultats issus de l’économie expérimentale apportent un éclairage critique sur les mode`les théoriques sous- jacents a` l’étude des politiques du marché du travail.
