1-2 Discussion: Thinking Like an Economist
An economist
plays two roles: scientist and policy advisor. As scientists, economists
explain the world, and as policy advisors they help improve the world. Because
these two roles have different goals, they require different types of language.
Economists as scientists make positive claims, whereas economists as policy
advisors make normative claims.
In your initial
post, begin by briefly introducing yourself, including your program of study
and career interests. Then address the following:
·
Explain the difference between positive and
normative analysis.
·
Provide an example of a normative statement or an
example of a positive statement from a recent news story.
For your
response posts, select two or more initial posts that contain different current
news examples (normative versus positive), and contrast your example with those
of your peers. What makes the examples different? How do those differences
relate to the different roles that an economist plays as a scientist and policy
advisor?
