指出当前经济危机引发了关于经济理论和政策的辩论,但缺乏对经济学家所用方法的讨论。作者主张在实现真正洞察之前,必须转变当前学术研究实践,并说明为何更接地气的框架有助于理解危机。

Abstract

The current crisis has triggered significant debate concerning economic theory and policy. Largely absent from this debate is an informed discussion of the methods used by economists in analysing the economy and formulating their proposals. But method matters. Here I argue that current academic research practices need to be transformed before real insight can be achieved. Specifically, I indicate why and how a more grounded framework than that presupposed by current research practices facilitates a potentially more fruitful approach to understanding the crisis.
