Crane* Abstract Antitrust law is moving away from rules (ex ante, limited factor liability determinants) and toward standards (ex post, multi-factor liability determinants). This movement has importantconsequencesfor the structure of antitrust adjudication,including shifting ultimate decision-making down the legal hierarchy (in the direction ofjuries, trial courts sitting as fact- finders, and administrative agencies) and increasing the importance of economic experts. The efficiency consequences of this trend are often negative. Specifying liability determinants as open-ended, unpredictable standards increases litigation costs, chills socially beneficial industrial practices,allocates

Utilizing his early contributions to econometrics, he laid the founda- tions for modern short-term economic policies and emphasized empirical macroeconomics while Director of the Central Planning Bureau. Since the mid-1950s, Tinbergen bas concentrated on the methods and practice of planning for long-term development. His early work on development was published as The Design of Development (Baltimore, Md.: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1958).

Psychologists look at the individual's adjastive procedures and the evolution of:those adjustments within a species. Anthropologists inquire into the behavioral similarities and differences of human culturaa groupings, from earliest man to the present. Sociologists investigate the behavior of people in groups and organizations, including the patterns, regularities, variations, and developmental changes in human relations, customs, and institutions. Political scientists study the behavior of human Individuals and groups, withan emphasis on tte distribution and attainment of political influence and power wad on the functione organization, and connections among the political units, institutions, laws, and customs. Other disciplines examined in the book are economics, history, jurisprudence, linguistics, game and decision theory, information theory and cybernetics, and general systems theory.:The book devotesa chapter to each field.

Comments are welcome.) Miguel Espinosa† Carlos Rondon,‡ and Mauricio Romero§ September 14, 2012 Abstract There has been so much debate on the increasing use of formal methods in Economics. Although there are some studies tackling these issues, those use either a little amount of papers, a small amount of scholars or a short period of time. We try to overcome these challenges constructing a database characterizing the main socio-demographic and academic output of a survey of 438 scholars divided into three groups: Economics Nobel Prize winners; scholars awarded with at least one of six worldwide prestigious economics recognitions; and academic faculty randomly selected from the top twenty economics departments. We give statistical evidence on the increasing trend of number of equations and econometric outputs per article, showing that for each of these variables there have been four structural breaks and three of them have been increasing ones. Therefore, we provide concrete measures of mathematization in Economics. Furthermore, we found that the use and training in mathematics has a positive correlation with the probability of winning a Nobel Prize in certain cases.

Abstract Henri Theil was one of the modern pioneers of econometrics whose work directly and indirectly influenced a whole generation of economists. His research included seminal contributions to econometric methodology, aggregation theory, the evaluation of forecasts, quantitative economic policy, information theory and its economic applications, management science, index numbers and the analysis of consumer demand. This collection consists of correspondence, papers and articles of Henri Theil, as well as an oral history audiotape and transcript conducted by Dr. Jacob Nyenhuis in March 2006 with Eleonore Theil. Within the collection are numerous articles Theil saved from other economists. Also included is a student card and picture from Theil’s early college years at Utrecht, and two photographs from later in his life.
