Using Field Experiments in Environmental and Resource Economics

Abstract

This study showcases the usefulness of field experiments to the study of environmental and resource economics.Our focus pertains to work related to field experiments in the area of 'behavioral' environmental and resource economics.Within this rubric, we discuss research in two areas: those that inform i) benefit cost analysis and ii) conservation of resources.Within each realm, we show how field experiments have been able to test the relevant theories, provide important parameters to construct new theories, and guide policymakers.We conclude with thoughts on how field experiments can be used to deepen our understanding of important areas within environmental and resource economics.
