Abstract

The problem of ‘parallelism’ or external validity can in principle be solved; I try to show how by means of two simple examples. I also criticise attempts to dismiss experimental economics that appeal to alleged ontological differences between the natural and the social realm.

Key Words: Experimental economics • Methodology • External validity
