Daniel Klein has a new project:
The prospective symposium will consist of confessional essays by economists about their existence as economists. Only genuine narrative and sincere reflection are welcome. However, essays may be anonymous.
The impetus of the symposium is to provide an outlet for exploring preference falsification and other forms of moral or intellectual compromise within the economics profession. Authors are encouraged to be introspective and personal, and yet impartial. The purpose of each essay should be to share experiences that speak to situations to which many can relate. We seek biographical essays that will help others understand widely shared problems.
In his or her essay, the author should clarify the kind of preference falsification in which he or she has engaged.
What exactly is gained if one calls it “preference falsification” rather than “lie”?
david – by “interesting and important,” does that include papers that may only be “interesting” to the economist doing the writing? Just curious. I have mental debates in my head all the time, b/c all of my work is interesting to me, but probably not to anyone else. (We’ll see if they advance my career when I come up for tenure).
May econ undergrads send in essays?
