摘要: The gold standard in the sciences is uncovering causal relationships. A growing literature economics utilizes field experiments as a methodology to establish causality between variables. Taking lessons from literature, this study provides an “A-to-Z” description of how conduct accounting and finance. We begin by providing user’s guide into what experiment is, behavioral parameters identify, efficiently generate analyze experimental data. then provide discussion extant that touch on important issues finance, we also review areas have ample opportunities for future explorations. conclude time ripe experimentation deepen our understanding finance.
