Abstract: Policy experiments represent a powerful tool for testing the consequences of contemplated social programs. However, experimentation in the policy field raises perplexing problems and issues, some of which are not commonly encountered in the literature of experimental social science. This paper examines several issues that seem particularly important and intriguing, drawing heavily on experiences in income maintenance experimentation, one of the largest efforts in policy experimentation to date.
