摘要

我们建议，某些类型的经济模型最好被理解为“虚构”，即罗曼·弗里格和其他人所提倡的意义。这一论点的结构与阿农·列维(Arnon Levy)关于生物学信息的论点相似。这给我们的教训是，经济学家并不真正关心那些哲学家认为是认识论核心的事情，比如知识的本质。JEL代码:B21, B41, D80

Information in Economics: A Fictionalist Account

Abstract We propose that certain classes of economic models best be understood as ‘fictions,’ in the sense promoted by Roman Frigg and others. The structure of the argument parallels that made by Arnon Levy for information in biology. The lesson is that economists are not really all that concerned over the sorts of things, such as the nature of knowledge, that philosophers deem central to epistemology. JEL Codes: B21, B41, D80
