But Economics Is Not an Experimental Science [PDF]

Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2010
The fact is, economics is not an experimental science and cannot be. “Natural” experiments and “quasi” experiments are not in fact experiments. They are rhetorical devices that are often invoked to avoid having to confront real econometric difficulties. Natural, quasi-, and computational experiments, as well as regression discontinuity design, can all,

The Experimental Approach to Development Economics [PDF]

Annual Review of Economics, 2009
Randomized experiments have become a popular tool in development economics research and have been the subject of a number of criticisms. This paper reviews the recent literature and discusses the strengths and limitations of this approach in theory and in practice.

Solid State Defect Emitters With no Electrical Activity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Point defects may introduce in‐gap states that alter electrical properties and lower the optical excitation threshold. It is thus widely assumed that solid‐state defect emitters alter the host conductivity. This study demonstrates, on a particular defect in 4H silicon carbide, that a yet unrecognized class of point defects exists that are optically ...

Experimental Economics: Contributions, Recent Developments, and New Challenges [PDF]

Although economics has long been considered as a non-experimental science, the development of experimental economics and behavioral economics is amazingly rapid and affects most fields of research.

Stacking Interventions Enhances Carbon Removals and Profitability of Livestock Production Systems

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study indicates that stacking multiple interventions aimed at maximising soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration and enteric methane (CH4) reductions realizes greater abatement and profit do any singular intervention, especially when SOC sequestration accounts for a significant proportion of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) mitigation. Abstract While

Cognitive Neuroscience Tools in Economic Experiments Investigating the Decision Making Process

Folia Oeconomica Stetinensia, 2017
Experimental economics utilises a lot of different techniques to support its research. Applying computers and IT has already become common. As a novel approach the use of cognitive neuroscience tools is now being considered.

LncRNA Foxo6os as a Novel “ Scaffold” Mediates MYBPC3 in Combating Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic overview showing that forkhead box O6, opposite strand (Foxo6os) acts as a “scaffold”, directly binding myosin‐binding protein‐C (MYBPC3) and recruiting protein kinase C (PKC‐α) to mediate site‐specific phosphorylation of MYBPC3. This post‐translational modification supports cardiac contraction by regulating L‐type Ca2+ channels, especially ...

Do Economists Punish Less?

Games, 2018
A number of studies discuss whether and how economists differ from other disciplines in the amount that they contribute to public goods. We view this debate as incomplete because it neglects the willingness to sanction non-cooperative behavior, which is ...

Heterogeneity of the Dominant Causes of Performance Loss in End‐of‐Life Cathodes and Their Consequences for Direct Recycling

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Direct recyling of Li‐ion battery materials promises a low‐cost path towards a secure domestic supply of critical materials for batteries. Using cathode material from an end‐of‐life commercial Li‐ion cell, this work identifies the primary degradation mechanisms that diminish the performance of directly reused cathode materials and includes a discussion

The Evolution of Homo Economicus

Vestnik MGIMO-Universiteta, 2016
The article provides a review of the ways in which interdisciplinary research in modern economic thought gives a more realistic understanding of human behavior and economic decision making. On the one hand, economic imperialism drove wider application of
