Abstract

The aim of the chapter is to present, basing on neo-evolutionary paradigm, the types of experimental methods used in behavioural economic sciences supported by research examples. Neo-evolutionary paradigm legitimates incorporation into behavioural economic sciences not only behavioural economics, behavioural finance and behavioural accounting but also neuroeconomics, neurofinance and neuroaccounting. The adoption of the aforementioned approach enables extending the methodological perspective by methods used in natural sciences, including experiment. The research methodology is based on a comprehensive review of the world’s literature on behavioural economics, neuroscience and neo-evolutionism.
