When does a theoretical result begin to be taken seriously as the basis for economic applications? How do theorists attempt to influence this assessment? What determines whether a new theoretical direction will emerge as "pure" or "applied"? How do theorists respond to economists' penchant for "rational" explanations of human behavior? These are just some of the questions concerning the professional culture of contemporary economic theory that Ran Spiegler attempts to answer in his book. He explores these themes and analyzes the norms and informal rules that guide economic theorists in the creation, evaluation, and dissemination of scientific research.
