商品描述

In this book the author develops a new approach to uncertainty in economics, which calls for a fundamental change in the methodology of economics. It provides a comprehensive overview and critical appraisal of the economic theory of uncertainty and shows that uncertainty was originally conceptualized both as an epistemic and an ontological problem. As a result of the economic professions' attempt to become acknowledged as a science, the more problematic aspect of ontological uncertainty has been neglected and the subjective probability approach to uncertainty became dominant in economic theory. A careful analysis of ontological theories of uncertainty explains the blindness of modern economics to economic phenomena such as instability, slumps or excessive booms. Based on these findings the author develops a new approach that legitimizes a New Uncertainty Paradigm in economics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在本書中,作者提出了一種新的經濟學不確定性方法,這要求對經濟學的方法論進行根本性的變革。書中提供了對不確定性經濟理論的全面概述和批判性評估,並顯示不確定性最初被概念化為一個認識論和本體論問題。由於經濟學界試圖被認可為一門科學,本體論不確定性這一更具問題性的方面被忽視,而主觀機率方法則在經濟理論中變得主導。對本體論不確定性理論的仔細分析解釋了現代經濟學對經濟現象(如不穩定、經濟衰退或過度繁榮)的盲點。基於這些發現,作者發展出一種新的方法,為經濟學中的新不確定性範式提供合法性。
