How Economics Professors Can Stop Failing Us

The Discipline at a Crossroads

Beschreibung

This book reveals the behavior of economics professors based on the highly questionable incentive system they face. It is particularly critical of the theoretical literature they produce as if they were contestants in a superficial publication game where scientific integrity is often ignored.
