Synopsis

This volume brings economics and methodology closer together through a series of six methodological case studies, each of which is discussed by practitioners in the relevant field, and a specialist in methodology. The objective is a better understanding of economics as a scientific discipline and insights into the way methodological discussion can inform practice. Among the topics discussed are: game theory; externalities; free riding; involuntary unemployment; the debate over stabilization policy; and the theory of consumer demand.
