Are experimental economists behaviorists and is behaviorism for the birds?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (3):420-421 (2001)
Abstract
Methods in experimental economics are reminiscent of the methods employed by behaviorists in the first half of the twentieth century. Empirical and conceptual progress led the field of psychology away from the principles of behaviorism, and experimental economists should consider whether the criticisms leveled against behaviorists might apply equally to them.DOI
