Neuware - How tech companies like Google, Airbnb, StubHub, and Facebook learn from experiments in our data-driven world an excellent primer on experimental and behavioral economics Have you logged into Facebook recently Searched for something on Google Chosen a movie on Netflix If so, you've probably been an unwitting participant in a variety of experiments also known as randomized controlled trials designed to test the impact of different online experiences.
