Does economics count as a science?

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 04:03:27 2019 No.11254670 Econometrics can probably called a form of logic based on its own axioms. Economics in general is closer to sociology

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 13:56:32 2019 No.11255345 The nobel prize for econ is a complete meme, in the same category as lit and peace. Economics is a useful academia sure, but sure as hell isnt empirical enough to call real science

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 15:00:12 2019 No.11255443 >>11254668 Yes and it's one of the most important sciences.

No, it doesn't have a definitive method to it's madness.The observations and 'science' we agree on have failed to predict the current economy right now. By all indicators we should be in a global recession already. But they do a pretty good job of employing tried and true tricks to alleviate things or encourage things there.
>inb4 we are doing worse
A few points worse is not the same as wondering if I'm gonna get a paycheck next week.

Currently it's more of an art, similar to a cook adding a pinch of salt and a dash of oregano, and searing til it looks golden brown.
A science would be more like: per lb of meat, x tbs of salt + y tbs of oregano for z amount of time.

Please elaborate so w can all point and laugh at you

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 15:23:07 2019 No.11255489 >>11254668 Does it use the scientific method in any way?

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 18:48:20 2019 No.11255887 >>11254668 It is a SOCIAL science. We have this thread all the time and im sick of arguing with idiots on 4chan who have never studied economics. No one on here knows what they are talking about when referring to economics on any board

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 19:16:23 2019 No.11255974 No. All real sciences are based on empiric discoveries. "Economics" was something invented by mankind.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 19:21:32 2019 No.11255983 >>11254698 >>>/biz/ has nothing to do with economics. Only thing they do is circle jerk about the next scam coin.

>>	Anonymous Thu Dec 26 19:35:21 2019 No.11256017 What would /sci/ choose as the smaller evil, CS or econ?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 01:30:06 2019 No.11256649 >>11255974 so is economics just a subset of pure/applied maths then?

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 01:49:50 2019 No.11256665 In theory perhaps. But not in practice.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 04:03:52 2019 No.11256826 >>11254668 No its psychology, aka social science

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 04:07:40 2019 No.11256834 >>11254670 >Econometrics This is where it becomes an applied math degree into a social science (same with Data Analytics in Political Science where it’s a math/programming degree with a social science as its target)

Economics will have significantly less capacity for evil than CS in the coming century, on a person to person basis Econ fags are more likely to be pedophile sociopaths but far less likely to be proud pseuds so I would have to spare the economist for the CSnigger at my concentration camp.

I’m graduating in the spring with a degree in economics. Not really a science, however it is relatively rigorous. My degree is in the school of arts and sciences, and it's a bachelors of science. It can look very much like Applied math at dealing with advanced models (typically micro/econometrics), but as with everything when it comes to understanding human behavior, at the macro level it can resemble psychology and is less mathematical, especially the type of stuff you’re probably thinking of: where some talking head on TV is trying to predict the direction of the economy (which is not something anyone can do almost by definition)

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 16:52:24 2019 No.11257950 >>11257947 Also /biz is actual trash and Marxists on /lit have better economic discussions, lol

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 16:53:45 2019 No.11257952 >>11256649 Not until you can predict human behavior.

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 17:06:37 2019 No.11257972 >>11255887 Social studies are not science, they don't follow the scientific method, only when it interests them

>>	Anonymous Fri Dec 27 18:43:53 2019 No.11258148 >>11254668 IDK does sociology?
