	ColombiaLink.com - AUSTRIAN SCHOOL - Economic theories \| Macroeconomics \| Austrian School economists
		The Austrian School is a school of economic thought which rejects opposing economists' reliance on methods used in natural science for the study of human action, and instead bases its formalism of economics on relationships through logic or introspection called praxeology.
		Neo-classical economists have replies to each of the Austrian objections, which is why, while specific results of Austrian economics have been adopted by mainstream theory, as a whole, the paradigmatic assumption that economics should rest on deduction from principles rather than induction from observation has been largely rejected.
		Austrian economists reject observation as a tool applicable to economics, saying that while it is appropriate in the natural sciences where factors can be isolated in laboratory conditions, acting human beings are too complex for this treatment.

	Austrian School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Austrian economics is currently closely associated with the advocacy of laissez-faire views.
		Austrian economics was ill-thought of by most economists after World War II because it rejected observational methods.

	TO 'AUSTRIAN SCHOOL' ECONOMISTS
		In an age when most economists turn to calculus and statistics for answers, Austrian economists prefer to rely on logic and deductive reasoning, peppered with colorful metaphors.
		Austrians explicitly avoid these types of generalizations, they say, recognizing that people and markets are inherently dynamic and unpredictable.
		From this example, Austrian economists draw some basic, "self evident" axioms: Humans act, their decisions are based on subjective values, uncertainty exists, and so on.

	Austrian Economics, by Deborah L. Walker: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty
		Austrian analysis fell out of favor with the economics profession during the fifties and sixties, but the awarding of the Nobel Prize in economics to Hayek in 1974, coupled with the spread of Mises's ideas by his students and followers, led to a revival of the Austrian school.
		Although Austrian economists are not alone in their methodological individualism, they do not stress the maximizing behavior of individuals in the same way as mainstream neoclassical economists.
		Austrian economists emphasize instead the process by which market participants gain information and form their expectations in order to lead them to their own idea of a best solution.

	Eugen Bohm-Bawerk / The Austrian Economists, Part 1
		The province of the Austrian economists is theory in the strict sense of the word.
		In the conviction of the inadequacy of the classical political economy, the Austrian economists and the adherents of the historical school agree.
		The Austrians, on the contrary, are of the opinion that the errors of the classical economists were only, so to speak, the ordinary diseases of the childhood of the science.

	Austrian Welfare Economics?: A Misesian Response
		This should be a useful point to recognize for Austrians, since their tradition of tracing the effects of a policy, step by step, by means of the deceptively simple concept of opportunity cost, implies a level of complexity that is substantially greater than that of the unfathomably unfathomable mathematical models.
		It is true that economists have drawn from their investigations the conclusion that the goals which most people, practically even all people, are intent on attaining by toiling and working and by economic policy can best be realized where the free market system is not impeded by government decrees.
		The task of the economist, as understood by Mises, is to determine (1) whether the logic of a particular argument for some policy is correct and (2) whether the policy is relevant to the goal that the policy proposer sets for himself.

	Eugen Bohm-Bawerk / The Austrian Economists, Part 2
		And, as often happens, the Austrian economists find most to improve and correct in a department which has heretofore passed as so plain and simple that the literature of several nations - the English, for example - has scarcely a word to say about it.
		To be sure, the classical economists well knew to what point all their explanations must be traced - to the care of mankind for its own well-being, which, undisturbed by the incursion of altruistic motives, is the ultimate motive-force of all economic action.
		But as the classical economists had no idea what the shape and cogging of the first wheel should be, of course they could not give to the second wheel a proper constitution.

	THE AUSTRIAN SCHOOL
		The "First" Generation of the Austrian School was composed of a pair Austrian professors who, although not directly students of Menger, were nonetheless heavily influenced by him: Friedrich von Wieser and Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk.
		The Austrian School's traditional duel with the Marxians took on a new dimension when several prominent Paretians rode into the assistance of the Marxians by concurring with the possibility of an efficient socialist organization of economic society, what became known as the "Socialist Calculation" debate.
		The Austrian theory of capital was maintained almost singlehandedly since the 1940s by Ludwig Lachmann, but was given an invigorating shot in the arm by the formidable effort of John Hicks (1973).

	What is Austrian Economics
		The story of the Austrian School begins in the fifteenth century, when the followers of St. Thomas Aquinas, writing and teaching at the University of Salamanca in Spain, sought to explain the full range of human action and social organization.
		It was his research and writing that solidified the status of the Austrian School as a unified way of looking at economic problems, and set the stage for the School to make huge inroads in the English-speaking world.
		The debate between the Austrians and the socialists continued for the next decade and beyond, and, until the collapse of world socialism in 1989, academics had long thought that the debate was resolved in favor of the socialists.

	The Filter^: Austrian Economics vs. Austrian Economists
		Austrian Economics is not science, in any sense in which I can understand the word.
		Aside from the fact that radical subjectivism has it's own critics within the "inner-circles" of the Austrian community (scroll down to comment 6); the purpose of a priori theorising is to retain an anchor for dealing with subjectivism (radical or otherwise).
		A more expansive definition of what Austrian economics really is (and thereby who "Austrian economists" really are) incorporates numerous scientists who refrain from ever mentioning politics (Doug North is a classic example).

	Austrian School: Scientific Method
		Austrians accept this method in principle, but argue that it is more appropriate for hard sciences like physics or chemistry, not soft sciences like sociology or economics.
		Austrian economists make claims about the market (such as markets know better than governments), but then deny us the tools for verifying those claims (such as statistics).
		Austrians may be using the term "a priori" to mean logical proofs or axioms, such as "If A=B, and B=C, then A=C." But if Austrians were creating economic axioms that were true by logical force, then the Austrian School would become world famous overnight, whether mainstream economists liked it or not.

		Economists supported by such think tanks are not inclined to explore the economic theory involved in these cases of so-called market failure.
		It is mistaken to think that one could learn Austrian economics by studying the papers and books of professional economists whose goal is to achieve recognition by their peers.
		Austrian economics is not "what Austrian economists do." To know how to study Austrian economics, one must form an independent judgment based on the understanding of the subjective theory of value that he learns from Menger.

	Austrian School: Introduction
		Disagreement within the ranks of Austrian economists still persists over [many] issues…" (7) Perhaps the largest split is between the "narrow church" of Mises and the "broad church" of Hayek.
		Mainstream economists use the scientific method; Austrians reject it, at least for the study of the economy.
		Mainstream economists assert that the mystery of the business cycle is deep and poorly understood; Austrians claim the government causes it.

	Lesser Known Economists
		Austrian economists' basic beliefs can be summarized as: property should be private, trade should be free, and government should be limited and close to the people.
		In light of Austrian economists' aversion to the type of forecasting (econometric) engaged in by mainstream economists, it is ironic that a major reason for Austrian economics' higher profile is due to Ludwig von Mises long ago taking the lonesome position of forecasting that a communist (totally socialized) economic system is doomed to collapse.
		Austrians differ significantly from Neoclassicals in regard to the appropriate use of quantification in economics in part because, while the Neoclassical economists are willing to lump everybody consuming, say, automobiles together, the Austrians are not.

	Book Review - 15 Great Austrian Economists
		Now a quarter of a century later, the Austrian school has reestablished itself as a vital, contributing force in the arena of economic theory and policy both in America and around the world.
		The remaining ten chapters focus on the Austrian school itself, beginning with the school’s founder, Carl Menger, whose first contributions were made in the 1870s.
		Peter G. Klein discusses Friedrich Hayek’s refinement of Mises’s Austrian theory of the business cycle and his explanation of competition as a discovery process in which market prices serve as a tool for economizing and dispersing information to all the participants in an extended system of division of labor.

	FSO Editorials: "Masters of Austrian Financial Analysis" by Krassimir Petrov, PhD 09/24/2004
		Only Austrian economists have been able to consistently explain historic events and “puzzles” and provide the necessary understanding for interpreting current economic developments and forecast future ones.
		Therefore it is not surprising that Austrian analysis has gained almost mystical reputation amongst a relatively small circle of investors; it is also not surprising that many alternative analysts claim to be “Austrian”.
		It is important to emphasize that these are not the Austrian economists of the more academic type, the very best of which are associated with the highly reputable Mises Institute of Austrian Economics (www.mises.org), but financial analysts who use their analytical skills to put money to work.

	The Austrian Economists
		In the summer of 1984, I was invited to attend the Austrian Economics Summer Seminar at Marquette University.
		But when an economist as accomplished as Joseph Stiglitz commits such a fundamental error, it is time we recognize just how deep the intellectual prejudices are against laissez-faire in our society.
		With more economists today who see their role as humble students of society and more lawyers who understand the limit of judicial activism, the US may slowly be moving from the S-E quadrant towards the N-W one.

	Henry George and the Austrian economists - History of Thought American Journal of Economics and Sociology, The - Find ...
		The Austrian School, of whom besides Carl Menger, the founder, the most prominent members have been Eugene von BohmBawerk, Ludwig von Mises, and Friedrich A. Hayek, is known for its individualistic approach to economics.
		While the individualism of Henry George may not be quite as apparent as the Austrians', his life's work was directed toward creating conditions which would enable the individual to lead the kind of life he wished, qualified only by his not interfering with the right of another individual to live as he wished.
		While George rejected the Austrian theory of value, and argued for what amounts to a labor-saving theory, nonetheless his concept of value did in some measure coincide with the Austrians'.

	Reason and Reality - Heidi C. Morris 2004
		Since Austrian economics and Objectivism have a similar understanding of the relationship between value, rationality, and reality, it is only to be expected that philosophers in both disciplines would reach a solution for the mind-body gap, and consequently, the is-ought problem.
		The Austrian economist bases his recommendation on the idea that material happiness (feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, housing the homeless, etc.) is the goal of a government, and as a result finds himself compelled to recommend a governmental system which also respects individual rights.
		While there are definite exceptions to the assertion that Austrians are in favor of capitalism and free markets, notably in such economists as Hans Meyer, it is reasonable for my purposes here to make the generalization that, in a broad sense, Austrians advocate governments based on the principle of non-initiation of force.

		His later years were dominated by his duties as the Austrian Minister of Finance, a position he held, though not continuously, throughout the 1890s and beyond-and for which he is fittingly honored by having his likeness on Austria's one-hundred schilling note.
		The essence of Austrian marginalism is conveyed with his telling the story of what would happen (Parrots beware) if the farmer were to suffer the loss of one sack of grain.
		Criticism from outside the Austrian school stem largely from undue attention to Böhm-Bawerk's arithmetic illustrations and from attempts to restate his theory in the language of formal neoclassical theory.

		Their [Austrian school] researches take their direction from the theory of value, the corner-stone being the well-known theory of final utility.
