Experimental Social Sciences Research

Researchers in experimental social sciences use experimental techniques and technologies to test theories of economic and political behavior. In particular, they analyze a wide range of issues in game theory, decision theory, market design, and problems of public-goods provision. Their work builds upon a legacy of pathbreaking work in the field of experimental social science, which was pioneered by Caltech faculty.
