Experimetrics refers to the application of econometrics to economics experiments.[1] Experimetrics refers to formal procedures used in designed investigations of economic hypotheses.[2]

One branch of experimetrics uses experiments to evaluate the performance of econometric estimators [3]

In short, experimetrics is the field of study that lies at the intersection of experimental economics and econometrics. It refers to a broad swath of the economics literature, and encompasses both the theoretical and statistical basis of econometrics, as well as the methodology of the experimental method.
