La econometría y la modelización de la ideología

Author

Listed:
  • Husson, Michel

Abstract

Econometric studies are increasingly used to validate the dominant economic theory and economic policy decisions. They invoke a double legitimacy: that of scientificity and that of empiricism. This contribution seeks to show why their results are often questionable and are not exempt from ideological presuppositions.
