El premio Nobel de economía explica cómo trabaja:
- HOW I WORK
- My formal charge in this essay is to talk about my "life
philosophy". Let me make it clear at the outset that I have no
intention of following instructions, since I don't know anything special
about life in general. I believe it was Schumpeter who claimed to be not
only the best economist, but also the best horseman and the best lover in
his native Austria. I don't ride horses, and have few illusions on other
scores. (I am, however, a pretty good cook).
- What I want to talk about in this essay is something more restricted:
some thoughts about thinking, and particularly how to go about doing
interesting economics. I think that among economists of my generation I
can claim to have a fairly distinctive intellectual style -- not
necessarily a better style than my colleagues, for there are many ways to
be a good economist, but one that has served me well. The essence of
that style is a general research strategy that can be summarized in a few
rules; I also view my more policy-oriented writing and speaking as
ultimately grounded in the same principles. I'll get to my rules for
research later in this essay. I think I can best introduce those rules,
however, by describing how (it seems to me) I stumbled into the way I
work.
