Abstract

This essay compares the nature of collaboration at university economics departments with collaboration at high tech aerospace firms and at the Federal Reserve Board. Emphasis is on the relationship to the scientific method. The essay documents the fact that investment on accurate measurement is much higher in engineering and the physical sciences than in macroeconomics and proposes a possible explanation for that methodological gap.
