经济学的世界是一个复杂而混乱的地方。然而，现代经济分析是建立在试图用简单的数学模型来描述世界的基础上的。这在多大程度上是可能的？这样一个计划如何科普经济结果往往是由难以量化的因素驱动的这一事实？这样的数学模型能引导我们找到有效的理论吗？在这些讲座中，约翰萨顿探讨了他所谓的“标准范式”，这是经济模型构建的核心，其根源可以追溯到世纪阿尔弗雷德马歇尔的工作。在探讨这种模式的优势和局限性时，他看到了一些显著的成功，以及由此产生的深深的失望。关于比利时、荷兰和卢森堡的销售情况，请通过传真（+32的16/32.53.52或universityaire. pers@www.example.com）与鲁汶大学出版社联系upers.kuleuven.ac.be
The world of economics is a complicated and messy place. Yet modern economic analysis rests on an attempt to represent the world by means of simple mathematical models. To what extent is this possible? How can such a program cope with the fact that economic outcomes are often driven by factors that are notoriously difficult to quantify? Can such mathematical modeling lead us to theories that work? In these lectures, John Sutton explores what he calls the "standard paradigm" that lies at the heart of economic model building, whose roots go back a century to the work of Alfred Marshall. In probing the strengths and limitations of this paradigm, he looks at some of the remarkable successes, as well as deep disappointments, that have flowed from it.For sales in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, contact Leuven University Press at fax (+32)16/32.53.52 or universitaire.pers@upers.kuleuven.ac.be
