Geoff Riley

1st September 2011

“Social science is changing rapidly, as better data and real experiments replace the worldly philosophy of the past" In this Harvard Magazine article Professor Edward L. Glaeser - author of The Triumph of the City - considers the impact of the adoption of experimental methods and improved data quality in shaping public policy. And he emphasises the profound connections between economics, politics and sociology. A good article to read for aspiring university economists preparing their UCAS applications.
