ABSTRACT

Since the 1970s, interest in economic methodology has grown dramatically, to the extent that it is now possible to view economic methodology as a clearly identifiable subdiscipline within economics. The result of this growth has been a proliferation of ideas and perspectives, projects and themes that are not yet reflected in textbooks or collections of readings. The aim of this volume is to bring together papers which represent some of the main themes in this recent literature. Some papers provide clear introductions to ideas already in the literature, whilst others go on from these to introduce new ideas.
