BERKELEY – When policymakers turn to economists for guidance, they expect the advice they receive to be grounded in science, not academic factionalism or political presuppositions. After all, the policies they will be putting in place will have real implications for real people.
伯克利—决策者向经济学家讨教时，他们期待获得基于科学的建议，而不是学术流派主义或政治预设。毕竟，他们所实施的政策会对真实的人民产生真实的影响。然而不幸的是，可靠的科学并不总是推动经济分析和政策建议背后的力量。
