Experimental Economics - An Introduction
In this podcast, Mike McGrath is joined by Dr. Paul Ferraro of Johns Hopkins University to discuss how experimental economics can be used with agri-environmental programs. Similar to testing new agriculture techniques, such as a new crop variety or a new fertilizer method, experimental economics is a way to test proposed agriculture programs to develop evidence-based programs.
