Measurement, Quantification and Economic Analysis (Paperback)

Paperback. Most economists assume that the mathematical and quantative sides of their science are relatively recent developments. Measurement, Quantification and Economic Analysis shows that this is a misconception. Its authors argue that economists have long relied on measurement and quantification as essential tools. However, problems have arisen in adapting these tools from other fields. Ultimately, the authors are sceptical about the role which measurement and quantification tools now play in contemporary economic theory. This book considers the mathematical and quantative sides of economics and considers problems that have arisen in adapting these tools from other fields and their limitations in contemporary economic theory.
