| Abstract: | This paper addresses the link between the generation of economic knowledge and economic policy conclusions. Focusing on the case of research in international trade, it established a taxonomy of rhetorical practices contrasts markedly with the rigidity of the conventions of theoretical and empirical knowledge creation. A survey of articles on international trade from four major journals from 1988 to 1992 shows that most policy-relevant research is entirely theoretical. |
