Probabilidad e incertidumbre en Keynes. Una revisión de tipo bayesiano

Uncertainty and probability in Keynes. A Bayesian-type review

Contenido principal del artículo

Juan Esteban Jacobo

Resumen

Este articulo analiza el concepto de probabilidad en la obra de Keynes y propone un metodo para formalizar la nocion de la incertidumbre en la Teoría general utilizando el teorema de Bayes y el principio de maxima entropia. Una de las principales conclusiones es que, a pesar de compartir su rechazo del enfoque frecuentista de la estadistica, es poco razonable pensar que no se pueden determinar probabilidades numericas, aunque se cumpla algun criterio de objetividad.
