    Milton Friedman, the Statistical Methodologist
    History of Political Economy 39 (3): 511-28. 2007.
    In this paper I study Milton Friedman’s statistical education, paying special attention to the different methodological approaches (Fisher, Neyman and Savage) to which he was exposed. I contend that these statistical procedures involved different views as to the evaluation of statistical predictions. In this light, the thesis defended in Friedman’s 1953 methodological essay appears substantially ungrounded

    Choosing expert statistical advice: Practical costs and epistemic justification
    with Javier González De Prado Salas
    Episteme 12 (1): 117-129. 2015.
    We discuss the role of practical costs in the epistemic justification of a novice choosing expert advice, taking as a case study the choice of an expert statistician by a lay politician. First, we refine Goldman’s criteria for the assessment of this choice, showing how the costs of not being impartial impinge on the epistemic justification of the different actors involved in the choice. Then, drawing on two case studies, we discuss in which institutional setting the costs of partiality can …Read more
    We discuss the role of practical costs in the epistemic justification of a novice choosing expert advice, taking as a case study the choice of an expert statistician by a lay politician. First, we refine Goldman’s criteria for the assessment of this choice, showing how the costs of not being impartial impinge on the epistemic justification of the different actors involved in the choice. Then, drawing on two case studies, we discuss in which institutional setting the costs of partiality can play an epistemic role. This way we intend to show how the sociological explanation of the choice of experts can incorporate its epistemic justification.

    Mentiras a medias. Unas investigaciones sobre el programa de la verosimilitud (review)
    Theoria: Revista de Teoría, Historia y Fundamentos de la Ciencia 15 (3): 581-583. 2000.
    Jesús Zamora Bonilla, profesor de la Universidad Carlos III, es un autor bien conocido para el lector de Theoria por sus publicaciones en filosofía general de las ciencias y en filosofía de la economía. Sólo su distribuidora es culpable de que muchos lectores ignoren aún su primer libro, Mentiras a medias, un amplio estudio de la idea de verosimilitud que incluye una propuesta original, ya discutida en foros internacionales.

    Jesús Zamora Bonilla, profesor de la Universidad Carlos III, es un autor bien conocido para el lector de Theoria por sus publicaciones en filosofía general de las ciencias y en filosofía de la economía. Sólo su distribuidora es culpable de que muchos lectores ignoren aún su primer libro, Mentiras a medias, un amplio estudio de la idea de verosimilitud que incluye una propuesta original, ya discutida en foros internacionales. El trabajo en epistemología general de las ciencias que aquí presentamos se articula, además, con sus aportaciones a la economía de la ciencia y a la propia reconstrucción racional de la metodología económica. No está de más, por tanto, el volver sobre los fundamentos de este proyecto, pues, como es sabido, no son pocas las dificultades que ofrece el concepto de verosimilitud.
