Case Study

Feasibility of a Controlled Economic Experiment

A team of economists wants to definitively determine the causal effect of a country's central bank interest rate on the level of private business investment.

Identify and explain the two most significant reasons why conducting this study as a conventional, controlled experiment would be practically impossible.
