Abstract

Given the importance of experimental methods in the field of environmental policy, this paper aims to analyze the trend and use of experimental methods in the environmental policy domain in the past 20 years from a methodological perspective. The sources of the literature review are 253 papers from the top 100 environmental policy SSCI-listed journals using laboratory, survey and field experiments. The analysis of the overall situation (nationality, journal) and the specific situation (research theme, experimental design and sample) reveals that most of the current experimental research in this field is focused on topics such as "energy" and "environmental protection and sustainable development", and the most common experimental designs are single-factor design and between-subjects design, with the majority of subjects participating in experimental research being the public and students. Finally, this paper discusses the prospects of experimental research in the field of environmental policy in future and gives corresponding suggestions, taking into account the analysis of the current situation and trends of experimental research in environmental policy.
