For most of his career, Peter Swann’s main research interest
has been the economics of innovation. But he has also been preoccupied with a
second question: what is the best way to study empirical economics? In this
book, he uses his knowledge of the first question to answer the second. There
are two fundamentally different approaches to innovation: incremental
innovation and radical innovation – ‘radical’ in the sense that we go back to
the ‘roots’ of empirical economics and take a different tack. An essential
lesson from the economics of innovation is that we need both incremental and
radical innovation for the maximum beneficial effect on the economy. Swann
argues that the same is true for economics as a discipline. This book is a
much-awaited sequel to Putting Econometrics in its Place which explored what
other methods should be used, and why. This book is about the best way of
organising the economics discipline, to ensure that it pursues this wide
variety of methods to maximum effect.
