Dimensions of Parallelism: Some Policy Applications of Experimental Methods

摘要: The term "parallelism" refers to a vague notion about how observations of simple laboratory phenomena can help one understand and predict the behavior of complicated and changing world. Of what use are experimental results someone who is interested in something vastly larger more complicated, perhaps fundamentally different than anything that be studied setting? Questions such as this related parallelism have probably existed from earliest development scientific methodology, and although I found paper by Vernon Smith (1980) the notion itself pervades all branches science engineering.
