## Abstract

The incentivization and remuneration of clinical trial participants is a central topic in medical ethics. The possibility to shorten the Covid-pandemic through controlled human infection studies lends the topic renewed relevance. We summarize evidence from economics to demonstrate that many of the central questions surrounding human subject payment can be answered empirically.
