| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper authors provide some preliminary empirical evidence on the extent to which various fields of economic theory, as well as specific theorists, have succeeded in influencing the path followed by empirical research in the area of microeconomics. Based on their analysis of all empirical microeconomics papers published in three leading journals over a three-year period, they arrive at a number of conclusions concerning the impact of theory on empirical research. Their first finding is that the set of theory papers cited as the primary motivation for leading empirical work is surprisingly dispersed. A second finding is that empirical researchers behave as if they are heavily influenced by recent theoretical contributions. |
