摘要:This thesis attempts to justify a normative role for methodology by
sketching a pragmatic way out of the dichotomy between two major
strands in economic methodology: empiricism and postmodernism. It is
important to understand that my thesis is about methodology and this
means that I do not add another recipe with prescriptions as to how
economics needs to change in order to become a “better” or “proper”
science. Instead, I discuss several methodological approaches and assess
their aptness for theory appraisal in economics.
