Abstract

HAGOPIAN TLAPANCO, Hrayr Der. Experimentos en una ciencia no experimental. Inv. Econ [online]. 2016, vol.75, n.295, pp.31-91. ISSN 0185-1667.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.inveco.2016.03.002.

The aim of this article is to provide reasonable arguments favoring the use of experiments in Economics. Rather than convincing the reader that experiments are plausible, this less common approach is intended to be presented as another way of doing science that is just as valid as the axiomatic deductive approach that still prevails. Finally, we bring up the issues of why the experimental side of Economics has been neglected (specifically behavioral economics) and why not enough people have been interested in this area.
