Creative Research in Economics

By Arnold Wentzel

This book explores the process of conceiving and generating ideas for interesting and original research contributions in economics (and potentially other social sciences too). It serves both a practical and theoretical purpose. Theoretically it presents a unique way of thinking about the nature of problems and questions in economics and the role of social science researchers in society. As such it offers an interesting way to think about the philosophy of science and methodology in economics, and how new ideas emerge in the discipline. Practically it develops techniques for finding interesting and original research contributions (as opposed to conventional data-gathering research).
