- Title
INTRODUCTION TO SYMPOSIUM: ECONOMICS AND ITS BOUNDARIES.
- Authors
Davis, John B.; Jovanovic, Franck
- Abstract
For instance, behavioral economics and financial economics originated outside departments of economics. Today, these subfields are taught in departments of economics as if they were always part of economics, and they have indeed been awarded the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel. These four articles show that economics' borrowing from other disciplines is often contested, both because it can bring into question reigning views about the nature of economics and because it can challenge established intradisciplinary boundaries.
