传统经济学的在实证研究中的科学性不足催生了实验经济学,其是通过引入可控制和可重复的实验室实验来研究经济学问题的学科。实验经济学的发展强化了经济学对理论进行严格证伪检验的可能。从科学哲学的视角看,实验经济学的全部工作都在试图对“迪昂一奎因论题”做出有力的回应。实验经济学在技术层面上实现了对传统的计量检验的革命性超越,从而为在哲学层面上回复“迪昂一奎因论题”的挑战提供了实践基础。虽然实验经济学取得了显著的成功,但是由于经济学具有复杂的内部多样性,实验方法无法适用于全部的经济学领域。
The lack of scientificity of positive analysis of traditional economics results in the birth of experimental e- conomics. It is a subject which researches on economic matters by controlled and replicable laboratory experiment. The development of experimental economics strengthens the ability of economics to have a strict falsification test on its theory. In the perspective of philosophy of science, all the work of experimental economics is to try to have a pow- erful response to the "Duhem - Quine thesis". On the dimension of technique, experimental economics has revolu- tionarily gone beyond the traditional econometric test. It becomes an applicatory base for replying to the challenge of "Duhem - Quine thesis". Although experimental economics has achieved prominent success, experiments aren' t ap- propriate to the whole domain of economics due to the multidimensional property of economics.
