David Dawson, Ph.D., will deliver a talk entitled:”The Search for Truth in Science and Economics: Some Surprising Connections.”
The long history of interactions between natural science and economics will be the subject of the June 24 MDI Science Café. The presentation will be delivered by David C. Dawson, Ph.D., a retired physiologist and former director of the MDI Biological Laboratory, whose studies in economics have focused on the more than two centuries of efforts directed at identifying natural laws governing economic systems -- efforts which ask if there are “economic principles” that can be expressed mathematically and tested experimentally.
