 Przyczynowosc w ekonomii. Najnowsze badania i nierozwiązane problemy / Causation in Economics. The Most Recent Analyses and the Unsolved ProblemsMariusz Maziarz ()
Annales. Ethics in Economic Life, 2017, vol. 20, issue 1, 63-81 Abstract: The main aim of my article is indicating the unsolved research problems connected to causation in the area of the philosophy of economics. First, I briefly define causation and discuss two most notable approaches, i.e. the realist theory of causation and the instrumentalist theory of causation. Second, I review the most recent researches focused on the problem of causation in economics. Third, I discuss a number of case studies. On the grounds of comparison of the research practice of economists and the current issues undertaken by the philosophers of economics, I conclude that there is a gap between the research practice and the normative methodological analyses and indicate the research questions that need to be answered.
