Talk:Economic model

Lists of Models
A linked list of financial and economic models, and statistical tools, would be of great help. Other fields/interests all have such lists. To Seed It:

Finance: CAPM; Discounted Cash Flow Analysis; Gordon Growth Model; Purchasing Power Parity; etc.

Economics: Supply and Demand; Hector-Olin; Indifference Curves; etc.

Statistical Tools:Cluster Analysis Multiple Regressional Analysis; Cluster Analysis; Factor Analysis; Discrete Analysis; etc.

Discrete choice model
The above topic currently redirects to the Model (Economics) page. I think this is not appropriate. It is an Econometric model and is used in many other fields like Transportation, Finance and Marketing. It surely deserves an article of its own. Please leave your comments.--Raghu 12:00, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
 * "Discrete choice model" now redirects, more appropriately, to Discrete choice. Tobacman 01:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup Tags added to article
The "omitted details" subsection makes a lot of claims using weasel words and without any references. The information in the section seems relevant to the article, but it would be great if someone could find sources and clean it up. -- SlicedWheel 01:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Renaming to "Economic model"
Would anyone mind? It would be easier to wikilink in articles, and just reads better. II | (t - c) 08:23, 21 August 2008 (UTC)


 * I think the suggestion's had long enough, I'll rename now, C RETOG 8(t/c) 07:35, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Dr. Mandelman's comment on this article
Dr. Mandelman has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"The article is way too long and some discussions are irrelevant to this entry. I would eliminate from the main text the subsection "Restrictive, unrealistic assumptions" "Are economic models falsifiable" "History" "the effects of deterministic chaos on economic models" "the critique of hubris in planning""

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

We believe Dr. Mandelman has expertise on the topic of this article, since he has published relevant scholarly research:

Too much on "Restrictive, unrealistic assumptions"
A lot of effort has clearly gone into this section and the ideas are important, but to me it seem disproportionate to the rest of the article. I'm considering moving most of the material to a new page, perhaps "Debunking economic models", linking to it and reducing the material on this page. Thoughts?
