We design experiments to jointly elicit risk and time preferences for the adult Danish population. The experimental … procedures build on laboratory experiments that have used traditional subject pools. The field experiments utilize field sampling … pools. Our overall design was also intended to be a general template for such field experiments in other countries. We …

We discuss the following three themes on the use of field experiments to study economic development: (1) We summarize … the arguments for and against using experiments to gather behavioral data in the field; (2) We argue and illustrate that … field experiments can provide data on behavior that can be used in subsequent analyses of the effect of behavioral social …

The results of standard lab experiments have long been questioned because of the convenience samples of subjects they …, are the key factors that endanger the external validity of experiments. Researchers have tried to address these issues by … experiments closer to reality by using real goods and/or settings that are not stripped of context. While field experiments might …
