# Experimental Economics (experimental-economics)
## Journal positioning
Experimental Economics is the journal of the Economic Science Association (the ESA), the leading specialist outlet for experimental methods in economics. It rewards papers in which a carefully designed experiment — lab or field — answers a question about behavior, institutions, or theory that observational data cannot cleanly identify. The readership is experimental and behavioral economists who scrutinize design, incentive-compatibility, and replicability, so the experiment itself is the core of the contribution.
This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the ESA / Springer site and the editorial submission system.
## When to trigger
- The author names Experimental Economics (or the ESA outlet) as the target venue.
- A paper's central evidence is an experiment and the design is the contribution.
- A behavioral or theory-testing paper needs re-framing so the experimental design and incentives are foregrounded.
- The author needs this venue's desk-reject risks and a credible experimental / behavioral alternative list.
