Create zero variable cost data Section 4.6.1.
For more about using bots to create zero variable cost experiments see???
Create zero variable cost data Section 4.6.1.
This change in scale is because some digital experiments can produce data at zero variable cost.
This example also shows that zero variable cost data is not just about doing things cheaper.
In the past, they have been logistically difficult, butthose difficulties are fading because of the possibility of zero variable cost data.
MusicLab was able to run at essentially zero variable cost because of the way that it was designed.
In the past, they have been logistically difficult, butthose difficulties are fading because of the possibility of zero variable cost data.
Further, the MusicLab experiments show that zero variable cost does not have to be an end in itself;
To be clear,the desire to reduce the size of your experiment does not mean that you should not run large, zero variable cost experiments.
MusicLab was able to run at essentially zero variable cost because of the way that it was designed.
Another approach to creating zero variable cost payment to participants is to use a lottery, an approach that has also been used in survey research Halpern et al.
I will describe more about other research opportunities that are created by digital-age cost structures-particularly zero variable cost data-when I discuss experiments in chapter 4.
These experiments don't really have zero variable cost-rather, they have zero variable cost to researchers.
If you want to create zero variable costs experiments you will want to ensure that everything is fully automated and that participants don't require any payments.
As I described in Chapter 5, researchers can increasingly design andbuild digital experiments with zero variable costs, a cost structure that enables extremely large experiments.
However, the ability to create zero variable cost experiments can raise new ethical questions, the topic that I shall now address.
However, when there is zero variable cost data, researchers don't face a cost constraint on the size of their experiment, and this has the potential to lead to unnecessarily large experiments.
Table 4.4: Examples of experiments with zero variable cost that compensated participants with a valuable service or an enjoyable experience.
Another approach to creating zero variable cost payment to participants is to use a lottery, an approach that has also been used in survey research Halpern et al.
If you want to create experiments with zero variable cost data, you will need to ensure that everything is fully automated and that participants don't require any payment.
But in digital experiments,particularly those with zero variable cost, researchers don't face a cost constraint on the size of their experiment, and this has the potential to lead to unnecessarily large experiments.
In Chapter 4,we saw how you can create zero variable cost data by designing experiments that people actually want to be in, such as the music downloading experiment that I created with Peter Dodds and Duncan Watts Salganik, Dodds, and Watts 2006.
