Abstract

Prof. Colander's paper will no doubt go a long way towards overcoming the first and most formidable hurdle in front of us, namely making the Turkish academic community—in the social sciences in general and economics in particular—recognize that there is a “relevance of research” problem. Once this hurdle is behind us, the second pressing issue to resolve will be finding a solution to that very problem. Prof. Colander’s treatment of this challenge, while presenting various interesting proposals, falls short of providing a lasting solution. I have strong expectations that his paper will stimulate the existing debate on the subject (hopefully in this journal) and be instrumental in coming up with a productive solution in the future.
