Perhaps read what the latest Nobel price winners in Economics have to say:
Joshua D. Angrist and Guido W. Imbens “for their methodological contributions to the analysis of causal relationships”
They have done real world studies on the issues discussed here and arrive at a different conclusion from you.
- m4nu3l 5y agoI will, but keep in mind that economists are very divided on the subject - and many other subjects. I do listen to economists, but eventually I have to chose to which economist to believe in these cases, and to do that I try to asses how honest they are and if something they say in their reasoning seems flawed.
- mbrodersen 5y agoI agree with you in general. Economics is not a science. It is almost impossible to verify a theory and most Economists are simply advocating theories that confirm their personal politics/morals/values. However what is interesting about the economists I mentioned is that they have found clever ways to use real world data to “run” experiments. It is truly great work.
