"Die in der experimentellen Wirtschaftsforschung gefundenen systematischen Abweichungen vom Homo Oeconomicus sind von weitreichender Bedeutung: wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Modelle bilden nicht nur die Grundlage für unser Verständnis sozialer Realität, sondern auch für die Politikberatung. Folglich hat die in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften vertretene Annahme eines allgegenwärtigen Homo Oeconomicus nicht nur eine erkenntnisleitende Funktion, sondern bestimmt - vermittels Beratung und Sozialisation durch ökonomische Ausbildung - auch das Handeln politischer und unternehmerischer Entscheidungsträger. In dieser Arbeit sind einige Aspekte einer alternativen Wirtschaftspolitik, die sich an den Ergebnissen der experimentellen Wirtschaftsforschung orientiert, skizziert worden. Der Tenor ist, dass es sich lohnen könnte, zusätzlich zu den aus dem Homo Oeconomicus Ansatz hergeleiteten Standardkonzepten, neue innovative Politikinstrumente zu entwickeln und anzuwenden."

This volume confronts and debates the issues faced by the growing field of experimental economics. For example, as experimental work attempts to test theory, it raises questions about the proper relationship between theory and experiments. As experimental results are used to inform policy, the utility of these results outside the lab is questioned, and finally, as experimental economics tries to integrate ideas from other disciplines like psychology and neuroscience, the question of their proper place in the discipline of economics becomes less clear.
