Abstract

Thanks to continually developing information technology, experimental research in economics can be performed with increasingly more powerful support of computers. One of such computer methods that facilitate laboratory economics experiments is computer simulation. The analysis of properties of computer simulation used as a research method helps us distinguish two elementary directions of its applications in experimental economics: it can support or replace traditional lab experiments. These trends are the subject of the analysis in this chapter.
