Description
Book Synopsis'Experiments in Organizational Economics' highlights the importance of replicating previous economic experiments. Replication enables experimental findings to be subjected to rigorous scrutiny. Despite this obvious advantage, direct replication remains relatively scant in economics. One possible explanation for this situation is that publication outlets favor novel work over tests of robustness. Readers will gain a better understanding of the role that replication plays in economic discovery as well as valuable insights into the robustness of previously reported findings.
Trade ReviewEditors Goerg and Hamman present readers with a collection of professional and academic perspectives on various contemporary and emerging trends as understood through the discipline of organizational economics. The eleven selections that make up the main body of the text are devoted to the effect of structured emotional expression on reciprocity in bilateral gift exchange, understanding social impact bonds and their alternatives, enhancing autonomy to improve effort, and a wide variety of other related subjects. Sebastian J. Goerg and John R. Hamman are faculty members of Florida State University. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
