The Future of Microeconomic Theory

Beth Allen

Journal of Economic Perspectives, 2000, vol. 14, issue 1, 143-150

Abstract: The question of what constitutes good economic theory is analyzed. Current good and bad aspects of its methodologies are discussed. Interdisciplinary work that goes beyond the social sciences is advocated. The future predictions are presented concerning research in game theory and the economics of information. Finally, the importance of technology and the need for microeconomists to understand it better are argued.
