Unlearning economic paradigms

Cohen-Setton, Jeremie, (2015), “Unlearning economic paradigms”, Bruegel publications, 30 November

Even conventional microeconomic wisdoms about the role of minimum wages and welfare programs are being challenged by new data raising questions about how economics should be taught and used to guide policymaking.
