Resumen

A diferencia de la Psicología, la Economía no comenzó a experimentar hasta fechas muy recientes. Aprovechando las principales ventajas de la experimentación (la replicabilidad y el control) la Economía ha sido capaz de contrastar las teorías existentes y de aportar nueva evidencia que nos ha servido para desarrollar nuevos modelos de comportamiento humano. Este artículo hace un esbozo del origen y de lo que es en la actualidad la Economía Experimental y la Economía del Comportamiento. Además se presenta un repaso detallado de dos temas que han sido objeto de investigación en nuestro país, intentando resaltar aquellos desarrollos que guardan una mayor relación con la psicología: lo modelos de jerarquías cognitivas y las preferencias sociales.
