Question 4 / 21:  Can we perform controlled experiments to test economic theories?
Answer: 

No, not in the same sense that we perform controlled experiments in (some of) the natural sciences.

There is an entire field called "experimental economics," in which researchers will run experiments to test various issues that are important to some economic researchers.
