| Tiivistelmä: | Rosenberg claims that economics must use the 'intentional idiom' for its explanatory strategies. The authors examine whether scientific articles in financial economics do in fact ascribe prepositional attitudes to economic agents. The authors look at articles in the Journal of Finance, volume 54 (1999), where the authors find a total of 250 502 words in 29 articles. The total number of ascriptions of the intentional states of belief, desire, expectation or preference to economic agents is 137, with 26 of 29 articles making 10 or fewer ascriptions. The authors propose other areas where intentionality might be found in these articles. |
