I wouldn't call Austrians anti empirical. Many modern Austrian schoolers are scholars of economic history. Also, economics, specifically macro is very hard to study empirically.

I would prefer they place themselves closer to sociology, political science & farther from biology & chemistry. Less deference to abstract first principles.
