TL;DR: An account of how case studies can be effectively used in economics teaching is provided and the empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the approach is reviewed.
Abstract: Case studies are, normally, real-world problems that might include relevant or irrelevant data, correct or incorrect analysis and that require some sort of interpretation or solution. The use of case studies has been a common feature of undergraduate studies in business and law for a long time. In recent years, the so-called “case method” has become quite popular in economics education as well since it is believed to help the development to three key objectives in economics education: the mastering of economics principles, the application of principles to reality and the systematic analysis of policy issues. Coupled with student-centred approaches to learning, the case method can prove a very effective method in helping students to achieve a deeper understanding of both economic theory and policy analysis. The article provides an account of how case studies can be effectively used in economics teaching and reviews the empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the approach.

TL;DR: A philosophical and epistemological analysis of the nature of scientific enquiry reveals that theory, in either a formal or informal sense, is centrally involved in every step of the investigative process from initial premise to final interpretation of the data as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A philosophical and epistemological analysis of the nature of scientific enquiry reveals that theory, in either a formal or informal sense, is centrally involved in every step of the investigative process from initial premise to final interpretation of the data. Given this, and the long-standing recognition of the importance of theory in home economics, the paper concludes with an analysis and discussion of some of the reasons for a general absence of theory from home economics research, some possible benefits to be derived from greater attention to theory, and some suggested ways to enhance the role of theory in home economics research.

TL;DR: In this article, a trans-disciplinary approach to deal with a broad range of environmental concerns is presented. But it is argued that mainstream economics, with its present methodological approach, is limited in its ability to analyze and develop adequate public policy to address current environmental problems and sustainable development.
Abstract: It is argued that mainstream economics, with its present methodological approach, is limited in its ability to analyze and develop adequate public policy to deal with current environmental problems and sustainable development. This book provides an alternative approach. Building on the strengths and insights of Post Keynesian and ecological economics and incorporating cutting edge work in such areas as economic complexity, bounded rationality and socio-economic dynamics, the contributors to this book provide a trans-disciplinary approach to deal with a broad range of environmental concerns.
