对贫困、增长和发展的解释取决于对个人偏好和参与战略行为的意愿的假设。经济实验，尤其是那些在实地进行的实验，已经开始描绘出一幅与传统图景不同的发展中社区中的经济主体的图景。我们回顾了这些不断增长的文献，着眼于在该领域进行的与偏好相关的实验。我们还提供了发展经济学家可能从实验中学到的经验教训。最后，我们分享了我们对如何在该领域进行实验的想法，并为未来的研究提供了一些想法。
Explanations of poverty, growth and development depend on the assumptions made about individual preferences and the willingness to engage in strategic behaviour. Economic experiments, especially those conducted in the field, have begun to paint a picture of economic agents in developing communities that is at variance with the traditional portrait. We review this growing literature with an eye towards preference-related experiments conducted in the field. We also offer lessons on what development economists might learn from experiments. We conclude by sharing our thoughts on how to conduct experiments in the field and then offer a few ideas for future research.
