Abstract

Die empirische Prüfung theoretischer Forschungsergebnisse wirft in der Ökonomie - wie bei jeder Sozialwissenschaft - Probleme auf. Anders als in den Naturwissenschaften können kaum volkswirtschaftliche Labors errichtet werden. Seit einigen Jahren nutzen Ökonomen die Erfahrungen der Psychologie mit stilisierten Experimenten, um zumindest ihre grundlegenden Verhaltenshypothesen testen zu können. Der Beitrag stellt ein einfaches Classroom-Experiment dar, das nicht nur eine zentrale Aussage der Mikroökonomie überprüft, sondern auch hohen didaktischen Wert hat: Die Studenten erhalten Einblick in empirische Forschung und erleben hautnah das Funktionieren des Marktes.
