A Collection of Surveys on Market Experiments showcases the largest and fastest growing strands of market behaviour research in experimental economics. The field has expanded significantly since its origins in the early 1960s with studies of competitive markets and oligopoly.

This collection is comprised of 10 surveys by leading scholars, which target the most productive lines of experimental research on market behaviour.

The contributors draw on seminal studies from experimental economics to highlight the literature that has helped economists best understand how markets operate.

The articles cover topics such as asset markets, contests, environmental policy, frictions, general equilibrium, labour markets, multi-unit auctions, oligopoly markets, and prediction markets. The articles here not only summarize the latest research findings, but they also assess the impact of recent developments in theory, policy, and research methods for a complete understanding of the field.
