Abstract

[fre] L’économie expérimentale aide à la collecte de données empiriques pertinentes et fiables et permet d’évaluer l’importance de chaque motivation particulière dans la prise de décision des agents. L’expérimentation en laboratoire rend possible la comparaison entre les environnements et les institutions sans avoir à subir les coûts sociaux et privés associés à leur mise en place. L’objectif visé dans ce texte est de répondre aux interrogations suivantes relativement à l’économétrie des données expérimentales : Où en sommes-nous et quels sont les défis à relever pour mieux exploiter les données expérimentales ? Nous concluons que l’économie expérimentale est appelée à jouer un rôle fondamental dans la progression de la science économique et de l’économétrie. Le fait que l’économie expérimentale produise des données est un avantage considérable pour l’économiste soucieux de transmettre ses connaissances dans tous les milieux. Dans la pratique, les responsables sont toujours plus réceptifs aux faits qu'aux discours théoriques. [eng] Experimental economics produce rich and valid data sets that enable the researchers to evaluate and understand the behaviour of individuals in many decisional contexts. Experiments conduct in a laboratory setting permit to compare different environments and institutions without suffering from the private and the social costs if you implement them in the real life. The goal of this paper is to answer the following questions relatively to the econometrics of experimental data : What is the current state of the arts and which challenges are facing us to better benefit from the experimental data ? We conclude that the experimental approach in economics will continue to play a major role in the progression of the economic science and of the econometric methodology. The experimental approach producing empirical data is a huge asset for all the economists interested to transfer their knowledge to all sectors of the society. In general, the economic and political leaders are always better convinced by facts and data than by theory.
