Preface
When I was invited by Andreas Worgotter to edit a volume in the "Studies in Empirical Economics" series devoted to Experimental Economics, I was both flattered and excited: flattered that I was to be entrusted with such a task for a series with high standards and proud history of such volumes; excited by the prospect of drawing together new material in this fascinating, challenging and important area of economics. With some trepidation, I drew up a list of the most active experimental economists throughout the world and invited the top ten or so to contribute. I was delighted by the response: no doubt drawn by the attraction of the series, a gratifyingly large proportion accepted. Most, but not all (though I will not name the guilty parties!) delivered on time and with the appropriate quality. All were very responsive to my editorial suggestions, and the following is the result. It is an exciting glimpse of what is going on in this key area of economics. I, and the authors, hope that it will encourage the continuing growth of interest in experimental economics. My thanks to Andreas Worgotter for his help and encouragement throughout - and for the initial invitation. John D. Hey University of York
