Rich in historical detail, the essays in this topical volume deal with such issues as laboratory experimentation, the observed transition from a post-war economics to a contemporary discipline, the contrasting positions of Friedrich Hayek and Oskar Morgenstern, the socio-economic experiments proposed by Ernest Solvay and Knut Wicksell, and a rigorous examination of the way in which economic models can or cannot be construed as valid experiments producing useful knowledge. A testament to the variety of ways in which experimentation has been of importance in the creation of economic knowledge, these wide-ranging essays will interest those seeking to expand their historical understanding of the discipline, be they theorists, historians, philosophers, advanced students or researchers. 410 0$aRoutledge studies in the history of economics. 606 $aEconomics 606 $aGame theory 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aGame theory. 676 $a519.3 702 $aFontaine$b Philippe 702 $aLeonard$b Robert 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476817703321 996 $aExperiment in the History of Economics$91910806 997 $aUNINA
