Abstract: Abstract Experimental study in economics can be a good contribution for a better knowledge and understanding of the economic theory or the processes occurring in it. These studies can be conducted both in the laboratory setting and in the field. It depends on the kind of experiment being carried out and its specifics. In the course of the conducted study certain information emerges that should be properly developed and analyzed. Therefore, appropriate methods to bring a certain order in this regard should be applied. Operationalization and conceptualization as well as measurement, analysis, and development of its results become important. However, in order to be able to use appropriate statistical methods certain operations that allow this need to be carried out. Application of methods requires, as a first step, some preparation, i.e., determining the investigated variables, the type of the statistical regularity, defining the sample, the method of measuring variables, information on the statistics. This chapter discusses these issues. This chapter has theoretical character.
