ERIM’s Saskia ter Ellen confronts the many dimensions of diversity and an over reliance on homogeneity throughout the dismal science in her upcoming dissertation. Contributing to a new field of research which seeks to create a more stylized, but representative, economic model, Saskia demonstrates that such diversity may imbue economic actors or persons with unstable and unconditional forecasting rules in the formation of expectations.
ERIM’s Ruben de Bliek investigates the place of trust in economics, especially in the face of classical economic assumptions held about the ‘homo economicus’. Ruben demonstrates four contexts in which the presence of trust is economically positive as opposed to oft-held classical assumptions.
ERIM's Aurelien Baillon balances economists reliance on hard numbers, such as GDP, and soft factors, such as executive confidence, in an attempt to bring attention to the further study required for the latter subjective factors. Aurelien discusses the role of subjective truths in economics today and explains that, though subjective, these truths can be examined in an objective manner.
