Economic methodology has traditionally been associated with logical
positivism in the vein of Milton Friedman, Karl Popper, Imre
Lakatos and Thomas Kuhn. However, the emergence and proliferation
of new research programs in economics have stimulated many novel
developments in economic methodology. This impressive Companion
critically examines these advances in methodological thinking,
particularly those that are associated with the new research
programs which challenge standard economic methodology. Bringing
together a collection of leading contributors to this new
methodological thinking, the authors explain how it differs from
the past and point towards further concerns and future issues. The
recent research programs explored include behavioral and
experimental economics, neuroeconomics, new welfare theory,
happiness and subjective well-being research, geographical
economics, complexity and computational economics, agent-based
modeling, evolutionary thinking, macroeconomics and Keynesianism
after the crisis, and new thinking about the status of the
economics profession and the role of the media in economics. This
important compendium will prove invaluable for researchers and
postgraduate students of economic methodology and the philosophy of
economics. Practitioners in the vanguard of new economic thinking
will also find plenty of useful information in this path-breaking
book. Contributors: A. Alexandrova, E. Angner, R.E. Backhouse, B.W.
