Department of Economics from California Davis - Department of Economics

Abstract: Economists do not communicate efficiently and methodologists

should expand their bailiwick to deal with this and with similar

practical problems. Both the quality of and the professional

prestige associated with popular writing should be enhanced. Aca-

demic economists need to pay more attention to communicating with

economists in business and government. Within academic economics

information flooding is a serious problem. Several ways of ame-

liorating this problem exist.
