What Do We Know about Ourselves? on the Economics of Economics
综述了以经济学家自身行为为对象的研究，聚焦经济学教育、发表习惯和劳动力市场三个主题，帮助读者了解经济学界的自我审视。
Summary Since quite some time, economists have been aware of the fact that also the behavior of economists generates questions that need to be answered. Why, for example, do economists use an alphabetic ordering of names when they co‐author an article? And what determines the success of an academic economist? Or, how does studying economics affect behavior? At the same time, economists have also noticed that the economics profession generates data that can be used to test theoretical ideas proposed by economists. In this paper, the author gives an overview of such research that takes economists and their behavior as a subject of study. He will focus on three topics: the education of economists, the publication habits of economists and the labor market of economists.
