Abstract
In this chapter we discuss field experiments in the context of development economics. Given that field experiments are addressed in this chapter for the first time in the book, we start by defining them. Experimental economics was born fundamentally out of laboratory experiments, so it is natural to build our definition based on the existing difference between field and laboratory experiments.
