Modelación matemática e ideología en la economía académica
Mathematical modelling and ideology in the economics academy
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Las fallas generalizadas y duraderas de la economía académica se deben a la excesiva confianza en métodos de análisis matemáticos inapropiados. Muchos economistas heterodoxos piensan que el problema central es una forma de ideología político-económica, que la disciplina va por mal camino porque muchos economistas describen la economía de mercado como un sistema que funciona eficientemente, una descripción que, así sea sincera, es inconsistente con el funcionamiento de la realidad social. Este artículo examina la pretensión de que esa forma de ideología es el problema principal, evalúa su poder explicativo y concluye que no es una buena explicación.
