Despite having a short history, experiments are now considered indispensable in economics as in other fields of science and engineering. As Dr Smith’s Nobel Prize (2002) shows, experimental economics has now established itself in modern economics. In such an environment, researchers are expected to develop the tradition with new ideas in new fields for solving various problems in the real world. The Experimental Economics Week, which was organised to explore new fields for experiments with new approaches, provided a unique opportunity for those who were engaged or interested in experiments in their fields to discuss experimental approaches from various standpoints.
