Rules for Scientific Research in EconomicsThe Alpha-Beta Method /[electronic resource] :by Adolfo Figueroa. - 1st ed. 2016. - XIX, 159 p. 5 illus.online resource.

1 Science is Epistemology -- 2 Alpha-Beta: A Scientific Research Method -- 3 The Economic Process -- 4 The Alpha-Beta Method in Economics -- 5 Falsifying Economic Theories (I) -- 6 Falsifying Economic Theories (II) -- 7 The Alpha-Beta Method and Other Methods -- 8 Fallacies in Scientific Argumentation -- 9 Comparing Economics and Natural Sciences -- 10 Conclusions.

The new research method presented in this book ensures that all economic theories are falsifiable and that irrefutable theories are scientifically sound. Figueroa combines the logically consistent aspects of Popperian and process epistemologies in his alpha-beta method to address the widespread problem of too-general empirical research methods used in economics. He argues that scientific rules can be applied to economics to make sense of society, but that they must address the complexity of reality as well as the simplicity of the abstract on which hard sciences can rely. Furthermore, because the alpha-beta method combines approaches to address the difficulties of scientifically analyzing complex society, it also extends to other social sciences that have historically relied on empirical methods. This groundbreaking Pivot is ideal for students and researchers dedicated to promoting the progress of scientific research in all social sciences.
