Summary
Abstract: This chapter reviews the utility of experimental methodology for compliance scholarship, describing various types of experiments and their benefits. Specifically, experiments are best suited for establishing the causal impact of a program or policy designed to impact compliance behavior – in other words, did that policy truly cause a change in behavior? With random assignment to “treatment” and “control” groups, researchers can be much more confident in their conclusions about program or policy effectiveness. However, there are limitations to experimental designs that must be considered as well.
