Abstract
Experimental economics applies controlled conditions to investigate the causal factors that drive economic behavior. Recent work has been focusing on how experimental choices relate to field behavior. We link teenagers? decisions in an intertemporal choice experiment to their savings decisions and health related behavior (such as smoking). We do not only find important correlations, but also a predictive power of experimental choices for field behavior a few years later.
