[escepticos] ¿De verdad es una disciplina científica la teoría económica?

[Mr Reivaj]

David Ruccio  economista norteamericano que colabora habitualmente en el
blog de la revista postkeynesiana Rearlworld Economics , concluye su
artículo con esta pregunta : ¿¡Y esto es una “ciencia”!?

Para algunos detalles de la solidez científica que referencia el artículo
(¿?) :
"It’s no wonder there’s so much expert uncertainty on this question, given
the contentious and tangled literature on the subject. Twenty years ago, a
landmark study by Alan Krueger (now chairman of President Obama’s Council
of Economic Advisers) and David Card used a natural experiment to study an
increase in the minimum wage. It found that raising the wage did not reduce
employment. (Casey Mulligan and Larry Katz have pointed me to lots
ofearlier studies that also used empirical data.) Other studies have had
more mixed results, and some have shown negative, though generally small,
employment effects."
