Abstract

Economists do not communicate efficiently and methodologists

should expand their bailiwick to deal with this and with similar

practical problems. Both the quality of and the professional

prestige associated with popular writing should be enhanced. Aca-

demic economists need to pay more attention to communicating with

liorating this problem exist.
