@Noahpinion did theory dominate the literature until the last decade and empirics take a back seat?

11 Dec 2015 1 Comment

by Jim Rose in econometerics, history of economic thought

I will let the data speak for itself on the latest from Noah Smith:

Economics is a theory-centric field. Until the last decade or so, theory dominated the literature and empirics took a back seat. In the world of engineering and practical application, that is a recipe for trouble. Theories that have not been rigorously tested against data may get papers published and may win Nobel prizes, but they will not necessarily work when you try to apply them.
