Experiments in law and economics

Alice Guerra

Chapter 3 in A Research Agenda for Experimental Economics, 2021, pp 43-68 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of the application of experimental methods to three topics in law and economics: bargaining and the Coase theorem; pre-trial settlement and the litigation process; torts and liability rules. These research areas serve as examples of how economics experiments can be applied to traditional legal domains. The general aim here is to show scholars who are working in law and economics some examples on how they can incorporate experiments in their work. But equally, this chapter seeks to reach people who already use economics experiments, to show them how their toolkit can be applied to questions in traditional legal domains.
