Description
Meyer (economics, U. of California-Davis) bridges the gap between the abstract work of methodology and the practical research problems that concern professional economists. He chides methodologists for neglecting practitioners, defends positivism, counters arguments that economics is not an empirical science, and addresses specific issues such as whether the failure of consumer choice theory on experimental tests makes any difference. Some of the 13 chapters are revised from conference papers. Distributed in the US by Ashgate. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or. - from Amzon
