Think Tanks

Post-"Advocacy think tanks"

[edit]

I'm figuring to open a discussion, which I expect will get heated, on how to cite various think tanks. Hopefully it doesn't need to get too heated. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't need to get resolved quickly. Editing economics articles, I frequently come across references to the Mises Institute and the Cato Institute. Less often other think tanks such as the Economic Policy Institute, Heritage Foundation, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and American Enterprise Institute. I'm agnostic about whether places like the Brookings Institution and the Hoover Institute are advocacy think tank or just a think tanks. I think it's clear that a place like RAND can be treated as a purely academic source, without advocacy concerns. There's certainly other organizations which will come up, but that's a start.

I honestly haven't been able to decide the standards to apply to references to these organizations (and I need to figure out how to compose sentences with fewer than 4 nested "to" clauses). They are advocacy organizations. They can do good research, but they don't always do so. The research they choose to do/support and publicize are selected based on viewpoints, so even the good research has a kind of POV publication bias.

I personally have little hesitation in citing these organizations in regards to clear-cut facts. There are probably exceptions where they mess up, and when they do mess up it's probably in-line with their biases. But I expect they're careful enough about their reputations that they try hard to get the facts right. Interpretations of the facts, from these organizations, I expect to be POV.

Likewise, I think that many of these organizations can be considered good representatives of some point of view. I wouldn't worry much about citing the Cato Institute if I wanted to say, "Economic libertarians say X.".

Anyway, is this a hard call, or am I being too careful? Should I take this whole topic somewhere else? Has this alwready been solved somewhere else? There's some discussion here and here.

Here's some examples:

  1. In Minimum_wage, both Cato and EPI are cited in the "Support" or "Oppose" lists. I think that makes sense because it's framed as advocacy. However, later, both are also cited commenting on Card and Krueger's minimum wage studies. I'm not comfortable with that because it doesn't make it clear that these are criticisms coming from advocacy organizations rather than from independent economists in academic publications.

In game theory article, discrete and continuous looks like it needs work. It's unreferenced, and says various odd things:

  • "Most of the objects treated in most branches of game theory are discrete" -- There's certainly plenty of continuous game theory
  • "engineering and physics" -- Really?!?
  • "For example, the set of possible moves for each of n players would be a subset of the real number line, with each player assigned a respective pay-off function taking as input an n-tuple of each player's chosen value." -- I guess that's correct, but very awkward.
  • "usually time" -- probably not

Quantum game theory

[edit]

Some discussion on Quantum game theory with IP editor 68.98.137.71. Also on Prisoner's dilemma.

Copied from the IP editor's talk page:

Hello

[edit]

Please don't take my modification of your edits the wrong way--it looks to me like you're new to wikipedia editing (if I'm wrong, please let me know). It appears you could help improve coverage of quantum game theory a good bit, and that would be great. I lean towards being a stickler for good referencing and balancing articles in accord with mainstream use, because that seems to help avoid later problems, so my modifications are in that spirit.

I haven't been impressed with quantum game theory, but that's gone in parallel with not really understanding it. It might well be worth improving my understanding, though my free brain-time is short. Regardless of my opinion of it, within the game theory community, quantum game theory gets very little play. That's why most stuff you'll see about it appears in physics journals and the like instead of game theory journals. To me that makes it still pretty "low" importance for the game theory project. You should probably join the project as an editor, and discuss it at the project's talk page. Others might disagree with me.

I find it easiest to interact with other editors who make accounts and recognizable usernames, rather than editing under an IP identification. That's just a matter of taste for me--you can do most things here without creating an account. CRETOG8(t/c) 00:20, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit]

I can't mentally process your note at Talk:Quantum game theory right now. I'll respond when I can. Feel free to edit before I respond, or wait until after. I won't undo any edits you make there at least until I feel I can respond to your comments. You're right that I'm not up-to-date on Quantum game theory, although I am pretty well-versed in general game theory, and microeconomics. Hopefully others will see that the article is getting some attention and jump in to participate. CRETOG8(t/c) 00:25, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Quantum game theory discussion

[edit]

By wikipedia policy (Wikipedia:NOTFORUM#FORUM), article discussion pages aren't supposed to be for discussion other than directly related to improving the article. I've got a lot of fuzziness on quantum game theory, maybe you can help clear it up. My math (and physics?) skills aren't up to readily following quantum game theory without more investment than I'd like, so I could well be missing things. However, whenever I do skim material on quantum game theory, I come away unimpressed. I think it's probably worthwhile work, but if it ever really pays off, I don't think it will be in fields like economics where game theory is traditionally applied.

My impression is that for standard uses of game theory QGT is unnecessary overkill. For instance, if you talk about the strategies in the prisoner's dilemma being entangled, then you've just redefined the game. It's possible without the heavy math of QGT to redefine the prisoner's dilemma so that there's "contracts", and if one does than standard Nash equilibrium can give cooperative outcomes. So, it looks like QGT is less about a different way of analyzing games, than a particular way of redefining games. If that's correct, then the issue becomes why the particular way of redefining games given in QGT is any better than the many ad hoc ways that modelers redefine games to approach different assumptions.

It may be I'm missing things. And if you're not up to this discussion, that's fine, too. CRETOG8(t/c) 08:10, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Make sure that Lists_of_countries#Economy are in the project. CRETOG8(t/c) 23:42, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Where does Decision analysis fit with Decision theory? CRETOG8(t/c) 09:34, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Choice Modelling needs cleanup, and should redirect to Choice modelling, instead of the other way around. CRETOG8(t/c) 09:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Choice Modelling, Decision analysis, Decision theory, Utility, Discrete Choice Modelling, Utility maximization problem, Optimal decision -- definitely want at least some merging. CRETOG8(t/c) 09:47, 25 May 2009 (UTC) -- also Discrete choice CRETOG8(t/c) 10:02, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Say's law too long, partially due to phrasing, also there's redundancy, and competing POV's--overall too much POV. Needs a lot of cleanup. CRETOG8(t/c) 06:31, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Economy of the United States numbers seems scattered, possibly off.

Cost the limit of price looks largely like WP:OR. CRETOG8(t/c) 16:42, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Is Dollar voting salvageable? CRETOG8(t/c) 14:42, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Intangible good should this be an article at all? Definitely needs better refs. CRETOG8(t/c) 15:32, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Demerit good? CRETOG8(t/c) 15:37, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Single new article on preference reversal? CRETOG8(t/c) 00:37, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Division of labour, these changes are appropriate because it wasn't cited, but mostly the material there looks OK, should be able to ref much of it and put it back. CRETOG8(t/c) 02:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Predatory_pricing has EL to Antitrust World Wiki, which actually looks good, but probably isn't a wp:rs. Can that stuff be trans-wikied here and verified? CRETOG8(t/c) 12:43, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Seems like this article by VL Smith on Hayek and Experimental Economics would be a sensible ref for Austrian/experimental issues. CRETOG8(t/c) 15:40, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Predatory pricing need cleanup of refs and external links - libertarian think tanks overplayed. CRETOG8(t/c) 19:14, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Ugh, David McNally (professor) regarding these additions, article sorta review Marxist? CRETOG8(t/c) 00:36, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Price support is pretty much just a stub CRETOG8(t/c) 00:18, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Is Quantum economics just self-promotion? CRETOG8(t/c) 03:24, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Market power stuff

[edit]

Looks like lots of market power stuff separated out into too many articles? Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Market system seems to want to be too much, while actually being very little. Needs to either figure out what it is or get deleted? Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Market structure is a nice summaryish, but should it be its own article? Category? Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Market dominance, Dominance (economics), Market dominance, Monopoly profit Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC) See also Monopoly law Cretog8 (talk) 16:39, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Oligopoly, Duopoly Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC) Duopoly should have the broadcasting stuff moved to concentration of media ownership. Cretog8 (talk) 18:06, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Market failure probably appropriate to have its own article. Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Natural monopoly Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Monopsony probably should be separate? Or merged with Oligopsony? Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Coercive monopoly looks like its mostly law & politics, so appropriately its own article? Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Perfect_competition and Imperfect competition have separate articles. Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Income inequality metrics, Robin Hood index, Market concentration, Herfindahl index, Concentration ratio, Gini coefficient, Lorenz curve, Theil index, Atkinson index, Suits index merge? Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Kuznets curve something different Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

(Theil index looks really good at first blush.) Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Abnormal profit should be merged with... something? Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Duopoly has too much specificity. Could move all the media stuff to Concentration of media ownership Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Check on Excess burden of taxation, Deadweight loss merger proposal. That doesn't really seem appropriate, unless excess burden... just becomes one section of the other, which probably isn't great either. Cretog8 (talk) 01:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Book article for The Economics of Imperfect Competition? CRETOG8(t/c) 07:10, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Monopsony needs inline refs. CRETOG8(t/c) 19:09, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit]

Collaborative filtering seems to have a lot of related stuff, which maybe should be merged? (search on term "collaborative filtering") Cretog8 (talk) 01:04, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Innovation_economics looks weird, probably needs polish, references, mainstreaming. CRETOG8(t/c) 16:04, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

Freedom (philosophy), Liberty, Freedom (political) merge? Cretog8 (talk) 22:56, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Daniel Kahneman needs inline refs. CRETOG8(t/c) 21:36, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

See User_talk:Jinxs#Bibtex_in_Wiki CRETOG8(t/c) 20:49, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Joan Robinson needs an infobox. Picture? CRETOG8(t/c) 23:49, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Michael Porter ditto. CRETOG8(t/c) 23:49, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Should Overjustification effect be its own article? CRETOG8(t/c) 19:39, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Self-organization seems full of uncited links to theses. CRETOG8(t/c) 22:57, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Artificial scarcity pretty much unreferenced essay. CRETOG8(t/c) 06:10, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Categories

[edit]

Realizing I'm not sure how categories work. Should an article be given all relevant categories, or the lowest relevant category, and the other categories are covered implicitly by moving up the tree?

Keep an eye on Category:Social Information Processing

experimental economics

[edit]

Experimental economics kinda messy. Big quote from Vernon Smith at the beginning is probably too much. Cretog8 (talk) 19:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Edward Chamberlin should mention early experimental, (influence on Smith?). CRETOG8(t/c) 17:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Simulations and games in economics education should connect with experimental economics. CRETOG8(t/c) 20:39, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

human subjects

[edit]

Milgram experiment seems to say nothing about its use as an example for human subjects training. Cretog8 (talk) 18:34, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Category:Human experimentation in the United States seems to only be about "bad" stuff. There's lots of human experimentation, and should be linked to human subjects rules & history. (talk) 18:43, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Similarly for Category:Human experimentation by country Cretog8 (talk) 18:47, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Category:Human_experimentation is just a little better Cretog8 (talk) 18:50, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Human subject research is mixed, a bit messy and confusing Cretog8 (talk) 19:10, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Human subject research seems to only describe experimentation rather than research in general. CRETOG8(t/c) 05:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Wiki mechanics

[edit]

Maybe use Wikipedia:DOI? Template:User_committed_identity? Wikipedia:Search_engine_test Template:Google_templates

McCloskey critique

[edit]

McCloskey critique is still iffy, but should possibly be included in "critiques" in Statistical hypothesis testing. Cretog8 (talk) 01:00, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Are there good refs? Some web searching turns up:

Auction

[edit]

User:Debate has rightly moved a lot of stuff from Auction. Possibly some of it should go back in a different form. Particularly various "terminology" or "auction type" could be included as *characteristics* of various auctions.

  • Time rules-Duration, hard close, soft close, random close, other?
  • Open outcry or not -- anonymous or not
  • discriminative vs. competitive
  • other?

Not a tool, but consider: Wikipedia:Don't-give-a-fuckism.
