摘要

本文反思了实验在环境政策评估中的用途和有用性。尽管大多数文献都关注现场实验的附加值,但本文也考虑了选择和实验室实验的附加价值。本文回顾了评估不同方法潜力的文献,重点是可以借助实验评估的政策问题类型。然后,它讨论了有效性问题,以及如何提高不同方法的有效性,然后转向“政策有效性”或不同方法结果的可推广性,这对政策相关性至关重要。论文最后反思了如何改进实验在环境政策评估中的使用和有用性,得出的结论是,将不同实验方法相结合的混合方法似乎最有希望,尽管努力提高实验的可复制性和建立证据库也很重要。最后,为了提高实验在环境政策制定中的使用和有用性,重要的是要更多地关注实验结果的可扩展性,并在实验设计中纳入政策背景。

Evaluating environmental policy: the use and usefulness of experiments
ABSTRACT This paper reflects on the use and usefulness of experiments for environmental policy evaluation. Whereas most of the literature has focused on the added value of field experiments, this paper also considers the added value of choice and lab experiments. The paper reviews the literature to assess the potential of the different methods, focusing on the type of policy issues that can be evaluated with the help of experiments. It then discusses validity issues, and how the validity of the different methods can be improved, after which it turns to the ‘policy validity’ or generalizability of the outcomes of the different methods, crucial for policy relevance. The paper ends with a reflection on how the use and usefulness of experiments for environmental policy evaluation can be improved, concluding that mixed method approaches that combine the different experimental methods seem most promising although efforts, to enhance the replicability of experiments and the building of an evidence base, are also important. Finally, to enhance the use and usefulness of experiments for environmental policy making, it is important that more attention is paid to the scalability of the experimental findings and for the inclusion of policy context in experimental design.
