Society, history and economics
For everyone
The fields that study how human communities are organised, how history works, law and the economy. They run from the laws of Hammurabi to Ibn Khaldūn's theory of society and Adam Smith's market economics. Because experiments are often hard to carry out in these fields, different theories coexist for long periods.
For specialists
In the social sciences causation is mostly inferred from observational data, natural experiments and, increasingly in recent decades, randomised field experiments (Nobel Prize in Economics 2019). Reproducibility problems are debated in these fields too.
Claims
- Randomised field experiments can be used to measure the effects of anti-poverty policies.[1]
