19Progress in economicsIn Yafeng Shan (ed.), New Philosophical Perspectives on Scientific Progress, Routledge. pp. 224-244. 2023.In this chapter, we discuss a specific kind of progress in economics, namely, progress that is pushed by the repeated use of mathematical models in most sub-branches of economics today. We adopt a functional account of progress to argue that progress in economics occurs via the use of what we call ‘common recipes’ and the use of model templates to define and solve problems of relevance for economists. We support our argument by discussing the case of twentieth-century business cycle research. By…Read more

14Why Do Women Philosophy Students Drop Out of Philosophy? Some Evidence from the Classroom at the Bachelor’s LevelErgo: An Open Access Journal of Philosophy 8 (n/a). 2021.It is well known that there has been a steady and significant underrepresentation of women in philosophy on different professional levels.

9Social network analysis: A complementary method of discovery for the history of economicsIn Till Düppe & E. Roy Weintraub (eds.), A Contemporary Historiography of Economics, Routledge. pp. 75-99. 2018.In this chapter, we discuss social network analysis as a method for the history of economics. We argue that social network analysis is not primarily a method of data representation but foremost a method of discovery and confirmation. It is as such a promising method that should be added to the toolbox of the historian of economics. We furthermore argue that, to be meaningfully applied in history, social network analysis must be complemented with historical knowledge gained by other means and oft…Read more
