Theory creation and the methodological foundation of Post Keynesian economics
指出后凯恩斯经济学的方法论基础讨论不足，主张扎根理论比现有替代方案更符合批判实在论，更适合指导理论创造。
For the last 15 years there have been extensive discussions about the foundations of Post Keynesian economics. From these discussions, Post Keynesians have reached the consensus that their economics is based on a philosophical foundation of realism and critical realism. However, the methodological foundation of Post Keynesian economics, which refers to the methodological guidelines used for creating and developing theory, has received relatively less discussion and development. The aim of this paper is to stimulate discussion in this area by advocating that the method of grounded theory is consistent with critical realism and is a better and more developed set of guidelines for theory creation than the currently accepted alternatives.
