Experimental economics and deception: a comment

Article Abstract:

The use of deception in an economic experiment is unacceptable because if the subject started to suspect that deception is being used, then the experimenter has lost control of the experiment, which is the main reason for the experiment. Moreover, the use of deception in economic experiments can harm it instead of helping it and it could expose the experimenter to legal and ethical prosecution.
