Comments
One of the key transitions experienced by modern social and political sciences was the departure from using primarily observational data and move towards more active use of experiments - an approach, which social sciences originally believed to be inappropriate for their subject matter. Meanwhile, experimental research constitutes the core of modern quantitative social science methodology, receiving a lot of acclaim, but also a lot of criticism. The goal of the seminar is to review the existing approaches to experimental research (lab experiments, field experiments, survey experiments and natural experiments), their advantages and disadvantages. We will pay a particular attention to limits, alternatives to, and possible avenues of future development of experimental research. close
