The paper provides a critical view of those areas in which methodology in economics deviates from that in the physical sciences, provides examples and illustrations of those deviations, and emphasizes those areas of and approaches to economic research that most closely correspond with the nature of research in the physical sciences.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">B41 - Economic Methodology</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">A11 - Role of Economics ; Role of Economists ; Market for Economists</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">C00 - General</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">B20 - General</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc">A10 - General</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">2006-01-30</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>MPRA Paper</mods:genre></mods:mods>
