Well, if you understand generativism in general as Chomskyan, maybe
some of the studies presented in the proceedings of the Int'l
Conference on Linguistic Evidence might be what you're looking for (as
its published in the Studies in Generative Grammar series). In my
mind, at least Sam Featherston's study explicitly compares
corpus-based evidence with judgemental data (of which experimental
judgment data would appear to be his method of choice), and my
understanding is that he identifies with generativism. Some of the
other studies in the same volume may also fit your requirements.

I Hope this is of some assistance, -Antti
