I will speak about different forms of field experiments - those in partnership with an organization, those you fully organize yourself by creating an artificial organization, etc.

In doing so, I will focus on a few of my papers, not necessarily because I think these are the best papers, but because I know how they came about, why we had to make certain decisions and compromises, etc.

I will also give my view on what we should study in the future and for what questions I think field experiments are important - and for what questions we may not need the RCT approach.
