Thesis: "Real Patterns in Economics"
I work on conceptual issues in economics. Broadly, my motivating question is "in what way, if at all, does contemporary economics describe reality?". I'm trying to answer this by reference to a longstanding view on economics' subject matter, originating from Lionel Robbins, as well as contemporary literature in the philosophy of science on "Real Patterns". My research touches on many different topics and controversies, from methodological disputes in econometrics to philosophical accounts of causal explanation.
