field experimentation research  

Definition

  • Field experiments are randomized interventions that take place in real-world settings. Although the term field experimentation has occasionally been used to refer to nonrandomized interventions, current usage restricts the domain of field experimentation to studies in which the units of analysis are randomly assigned to treatment and control conditions.
