Esther Duflo discusses the fact that in social policy one cannot check the big questions, i.e. whether development assistance as an aggregate is helpful, because there is no counterfactual. She then suggests to focus on smaller questions such as what prevents or incentiveses people from immunizing their kids or whether mosquito bednets should be distributed for free. These questions can be answered by using randomized control trials as in the medical sciences. Thus, she argues, by bringing the experimental method to social policy analysis better decisions as to where allocate funds can be made. 2010 Level: débutant Social experiments to fight poverty Esther Duflo TED Talks Dans cette conférence André Orléan fondateur de l école hétérodoxe de l économie des conventions donne les enjeux d un tournant expérimental des sciences économiques L essor de l économie comportementale des RCT randomized controlled trials et de l analyse économétrique à partir d expériences naturelles histoire économique développement montre … 2018 Level: avancé Le tournant expérimental en économie André Orléan Portail vidéo de l'Université de Rouen Normandie La première partie de cet article retrace la généalogie de l'économie comportementaliste, depuis les premières théories de Simon des années 1950 au "prix Nobel d'économie" 2017 attribué à Richard Thaler.
