Predictive economics (the science) produces change in economic policy, in the same way that all science effects how people react to events in the domain of that science.
- earthboundkid 7y agoHumanities are just different from other sciences because the study of humanities causes humans as a mass to behave differently. In other sciences, we are the agents who cause things to happen and observe the results. In humanities, we are both the agents and the patients and we react based on what we learn. Put it this way, if economics was a regular science, you could make a theory of the stock market and predict prices with the same accuracy as a rocket's trajectory or a chemical reaction or the weather. Because it's not a regular science, what happens when you predict stock prices is that the prices change to factor in the predictions!
