The special issue Experiments on Environmental and Natural Resource Policies contains six articles that report on separate economics experiments related to environmental and natural resource policies. The articles fall broadly into two categories: three articles (Cherry and McEvoy, Duke et al., and Perger et al.) provide “wind tunnel” testbeds (Ledyard et al., 2000) for assessing the causal impacts of institutional design elements crucial to policymaking, while the other three articles (Zetland, Jamison et al., and Jindal et al.) seek to better understand human behavioral responses to general policy-induced incentives.
