Abstract
• Provides a thorough grounding in neoclassical economic theory, modern statistical method, and their applications in the traditional fields of economic science; • Embeds that training in a broader conception of economic science and method with special emphasis on philosophical, historical, and institutional approaches that link economics with other social sciences and humanistic disciplines; • Compares and contrasts alternative methodological approaches and types of evidence as ways of analyzing economic phenomena, evaluating policy debates, and assessing the broader social and political consequences of economic doctrines.
