1. Les modèles économiques sont-ils vraiment idéologiquement neutres ?

Author

  • Bernard Guerrien

Abstract

Economic models (including mathematical models) are never devoid of ideology, defined as the a priori beliefs of the author. There is nothing wrong with this except when models are mistakenly (consciously or not) used to wrongly justify a priori beliefs. Ideology hides or covers the rational argument, and much time and energy are wasted building models that mislead our thinking instead of guiding it.
