Claiming "a lifetime relationship with Heckscher--Ohlin," Leamer argues that Bertil Ohlin's original idea offered something useful though vague and not necessarily valid; the economists who later translated his ideas into mathematical theorems offered something precise and valid but not necessarily useful. He argues further that the best economists keep formal and informal thinking in balance. An Ohlinesque mostly prose style can let in faulty thinking and fuzzy communication; a mostly math style allows misplaced emphasis and opaque communication. Leamer writes that today's model- and math-driven economics needs more prose and less math. Leamer shows that the Heckscher--Ohlin framework is still useful, and that there is still much work to be done with it. But he issues a caveat about economists: "What we do is not science, it's fiction and journalism." Economic theory, he writes, is fiction (stories, loosely connected to the facts); data analysis is journalism (facts, loosely connected to the stories). Rather than titling the two sections of his book Theory and Evidence, he calls them Economic Fiction and Econometric Journalism, explaining, "If you find that startling, that's good. I am trying to keep you awake." 410 0$aOhlin lectures. 606 $aHeckscher-Ohlin principle 606 $aInternational trade$xEconometric models 606 $aEconomics 610 $aECONOMICS/General 615 0$aHeckscher-Ohlin principle. 615 0$aInternational trade$xEconometric models. 615 0$aEconomics. 676 $a382.01 700 $aLeamer$b Edward E.$014438 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813880503321 996 $aThe craft of economics$94044128 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01128nam0 22002891i 450 001 VAN00032745 005 20240806100350.328 100 $a20050224d1996 |0itac50 ba 101 $afre 102 $aFR 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aDroit de l'environnement$fMichel Prieur 205 $a3. ed 210 $aParis$cDalloz$d1996 215 $aXIV, 916 p.$d23 cm. 410 1$1001VAN00032746$12001 $aPrécis Dalloz.
