INET to G20: Break the Stranglehold on Economics
Last week, INET presented a panel and submitted a memo at the G20’s Global Solutions Summit in Berlin, “Research Evaluation in Economic Theory and Policy Making.” Featuring our President Rob Johnson as well as Nobel laureates George Ackerlof and Jim Heckman and INET grantees Carlo d’Ippoliti and Alberto Baccini, the panelists showed academia—and economics in particular—has increasingly placed emphasis on measures of research “quality” that do more to narrow intellectual exploration than they do to produce good scholarship. The stranglehold of orthodoxy on the profession hurts not only research, but ordinary people who are subject to discredited economic policy.
