Econ is a notorious "nothing and everything topic" (not being fair here, but economists also talk about this). It doesn't really fit anywhere. It's not very practical to study scientifically. I don't want to insult Sociologists here, but economics can be very much like sociology for money issues. It's intuitive that replication would be terrible in economics (not taking a shot at you for not "realizing"; we don't think about every subject in the world). What you really want to do is take one society, run it for 5-200 years. Then go back in time, take the same society, and try again with one small change. In practice, you might need to repeat many times because you would expect chance to change such a complicated system (butterfly effect). "In practice"... listen to me, I'm being absurd. This is clearly impossible. Of course there's ways to try anyway, but they're all known to be "bad science".
