The Philosophy of Experimental Economics:
A Bibliography
This bibliography, unlike the one in The Methodology of Experimental Economics, includes only papers that are directly relevant
to the philosophy of experimental economics. However, it also includes several
papers that have appeared since 2005 and that are not cited in MEE.
