Abstract

Many of computer scientists' research projects avail themselves to experimental studies using economic incentives and formulation of economically motivated hypotheses. In this article I argue that these projects can benefit from the large body of work that has been conducted in the field of experimental economics in the last 30 to 40 years. I discuss the methodology of experimental economics and review recent work that falls on the boundary of computer science and economics experiments and is likely not widely known to many professionals and researchers in technical fields.
