Let me explain why I believe modern economics is such a powerful tool for understanding the world. I’ll do this by discussing a great paper by Simone Cerreia-Vioglio, Lars Peter Hansen, Fabio Maccheroni, and Massimo Marinacci, “Making Decisions Under Model Misspecification,”

Interesting debate between two former colleagues: Roger E. A. Farmer and Ricardo Reis. A connection between them in this paper (and see explanation in the thread) static1.squarespace.com/static/57844f0…
