摘要

Economic theory and economic experiments can be combined to the benefit of both. By itself, this is a fairly uninformative "more is better" conclusion. There must be gains from considering experiments or theory more carefully when doing theory or experimentation. But what steps can we take to make it more likely that potential gains are realized? The danger with the concerns raised in this essay is that they might be used to apologize away any potential interaction between theory and experiments. It is unlikely that we will usefully combine theory and experiments if we too freely respond to contrasts between the two with such statements as: "The results appear to be at odds with the theory, but we have no obvious way to measure how far away they are, and by my preferred measure they are pretty close." "... but I suspect the subjects really perceived a different experimental protocol under which their behavior is consistent with the theory." "... but the theory is an approximation that cannot be expected to apply everywhere, and the discovery of this exception tells us nothing about the theory in other applications." How do we avoid working at such cross-purposes?
