Economic methodology is the study of how economists generate, justify, and use knowledge—examining the assumptions and idealizations in models, what counts as evidence, and how causal claims and policy recommendations are warranted. Books in this category bridge philosophy of science, history of economics, and empirical practice to analyze theory choice, model evaluation, econometrics and identification strategies, experiments and quasi-experiments, simulations and computational methods. They address core debates such as realism versus instrumentalism, positive versus normative analysis, methodological individualism versus holism, microfoundations, and the roles of abstraction, rationality, and institutions in explanation. The category includes foundational treatises, surveys, and case studies that assess the strengths and limits of economic reasoning and promote transparency, replication, and ethical standards in research and policy.
