Análisis bibliométrico de la producción científica sobre Economía Experimental

La Economía Experimental (EE) es un método de trabajo de la Economía del comportamiento que desarrolla modelos teóricos de comportamiento humano en ámbitos económicos. Los experimentos económicos tienen ya una larga tradición, y han proporcionado resultados espectaculares y conclusiones ampliamente admitidas sobre la dinámica de mercados y el efecto de las instituciones económicas. Las nuevas tecnologías facilitan la realización y el análisis de estos experimentos. El objetivo principal de este estudio es la revisión sistemática de la producción científica sobre Economía Experimental, desde el año 1990 hasta finales de 2021, en las bases de datos de Web of Science Core Collection y Scopus. El análisis descriptivo de datos se realizó con el software Rstudio, mientras que el análisis de redes se hizo con el software Vosviewer. El estudio muestra, entre otras cosas, que la producción bibliográfica en este campo se ha intensificado exponencialmente; así como, que el país con más investigaciones es Estados Unidos y el autor más citado es Urs Fischbacher.Experimental Economics (EE) is a working method of behavioral economics that develops theoretical models of human behavior in economic settings.

An Economic Model of the Worldwide Web

We believe that much novel insight into the worldwide web can be obtained from taking into account the important fact that it is created, used, and run by selfish optimizing agents: users, document authors, and search engines. On-going theoretical and experimental analysis of a simple abstract model of www creation and search based on user utilities illustrates this point: We find that efficiency is higher when the utilities are more clustered, and that power-law statistics of document degrees emerge very naturally in this context. More importantly, our work sets up many more elaborate questions, related, e.g., to www search algorithms seen as author incentives, to search engine spam, and to search engine quality and competition

Experiments with an economic model of the worldwide web

We present a simple model in which the worldwide web (www) is created by the interaction of selfish agents, namely document authors, users, and search engines. We show experimentally that power law statistics emerge very naturally in this context, and that the efficiency of the system has certain monotonicity properties. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005
