Qual o impacto marginal de um economista na opinião pública?
Pergunta boa, né? As bobagens que você, estudante de Economia (e nós, economista) ouvimos por aí não são culpa apenas da cegueira ideológica. Há ignorância também.
De qualquer forma, será que somos influentes? O abstract abaixo é do texto de dois economistas, Skedinger e Johansson (formato pdf). Divirta-se.
We investigate the recent public debate on globalization and the extent of economist involvement. The study is limited to Swedish economists and the Swedish debate. Do free trade and free capital movements contribute to economic growth and wealth, or do regulations and government controls perform better? Some countries have chosen free trade, others protectionism. Evaluating and spreading research results about these policy experiments should be a prime concern for economists.
