Experimental Economics
Theory in Practice
Book •
John List’s Experimental Economics: Theory in Practice is a comprehensive textbook and field guide that explains how to design and implement natural field experiments to learn about human behavior.
Drawing on decades of real-world studies in markets, charities, firms, and public policy, List combines experimental methods, ethical guidance, and practical lessons for researchers and practitioners.
The book emphasizes causal inference, experiment power and design, treatment heterogeneity, mediation, and scaling evidence to policy.
It includes candid discussion of common mistakes, replication issues, and the ethics of conducting experiments without informed consent when justified.
The text aims to equip students, policymakers, and business leaders with tools to treat the world as a lab and generate policy-relevant, generalizable evidence.
