Labor market, valuation, and experimental economics.

Summary Behavioral economics and experimental economics have grown tremendously in recent decades. The objective of this article is to present, through a general framework of analysis and examples of applications, the interest of experimental economics for the evaluation of public policies on the labor market. Experimental economics and existing alternative methods appear to be complementary analytical tools in the study of public policies. In particular, the results of experimental economics shed critical light on the theoretical models underlying the study of labor market policies.
