Paying participants in economic experiments, in Ireland, in jeopardy
On Wednesday I received some email correspondence about a difficulty being faced by experimental economists in Ireland, who may be forbidden from paying participants in experiments, at least if the money comes from research grants
The issue has to do with this sentence on page 6 of the research grant guidelines of the Irish Research Council.
"Participants in surveys/focus groups/workshops or other such project related activities may not
be paid..." although their travel expenses can be reimbursed.
I dashed off the following statement in support of efforts to make sure that this policy isn't interpreted as preventing standard economics experiments.
“Laboratory experiments in Economics largely depend on specifying precisely and attempting to measure or control the incentives of the participants in an experiment. Almost always this involves paying the participants in ways that conform to the incentives the experimenter is trying to create. [Paying subjects] is a well established and almost universal practice in experimental economics, and often necessary for publication in internationally recognized economics journals.”
