Reflections on Applying Economic Theory in Social and Economic Research

I. Frolov

Voprosy Ekonomiki, 2009, issue 12

Abstract: The article considers some methodological aspects of interaction between economic theory and applied economic research. It is shown that to use theoretical conceptions and principles directly in applied studies does not make sense since one always needs specific forms of knowledge as an intermediate level. The reason for relative autonomy of theoretical and applied economic knowledge is that a theoretician and an applied researcher face different types of entities in cognition and entertain different types of practice.
