1. Les modèles économiques sont-ils vraiment idéologiquement neutres ?

Bernard Guerrien

Regards croisés sur l'économie, 2016, vol. n° 18, issue 1, 19-31

Abstract: Economic models (including mathematical models) are never devoid of ideology, defined as the a priori beliefs of the author. There is nothing wrong with this except when models are mistakenly (consciously or not) used to wrongly justify a priori beliefs. Ideology hides or covers the rational argument, and much time and energy are wasted building models that mislead our thinking instead of guiding it.
