Improving Econ 101

Improving Econ 101

Noah Smith says introductory economic science needs to hold upwards to a greater extent than empirical. I empathise his argument, too convey closed to sympathy amongst it, but I wonder if the substantial modify he seems to hold upwards proposing is practical.  Economists usually produce empirical function amongst statistical tools that virtually college freshmen convey non notwithstanding learned. 

We teachers of introductory economics can too should explicate where too why economists disagree. That is business office of helping students educate their critical thinking skills.  But I dubiousness students are inwards a set to try to evaluate the competing empirical function that shapes the differing views.

In the end, introductory economic science is simply that: an introduction to the economist's trend of thinking.  That agency giving students basic concepts--comparative advantage, render too demand, marketplace efficiency too marketplace failure--that volition brand them to a greater extent than perceptive readers of the newspaper.
