There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm for experimental economics among young researchers. At a personal level I find activities like model building and data analysis as trivial attempts to explain social realities, although at professional levels we do undertake many such activities on a regular basis. I would like to invite ideas from esteemed colleagues on the relevance of such exercises and their applications in policy making when it goes a step beyond; i.e., generating data through experiments in the field of economics.
