Testability and the Refutation and Corroboration of Cladistic Hypotheses
Both refutationist and verificationist philosophies and practices are becoming increasingly evident in phylogenetic inference. Refutation and verification are fundamentally different epistemologies, and it seems unlikely that they can continue to coexist as the basis for inferring species history. The refutationist nature of cladistics is explored in terms of Popperian testability, in order to ...
متن کاملCan Rational Expectations Sticky-Price Models Explain Inflation Dynamics?
The canonical inflation specification in sticky-price rational expectations models (the new-Keynesian Phillips curve) is often criticized on the grounds that it fails to account for the dependence of inflation on its own lags. In response, many recent studies have employed a “hybrid” sticky-price specification in which inflation depends on a weighted average of lagged and expected future values...

However, in a paper published recently in this journal, Wesley Buckwalter and John Turri presented evidence for the conclusion that ordinary p...
متن کاملAmbiguity and rational expectations equilibria∗
This paper proves the existence and robustness of partially-revealing rational expectations equilibria (REE) when this equilibrium concept is expanded to allow for some agents to have preferences that display ambiguity aversion. Furthermore, the generic existence of fullyrevealing REE is proven for a commonly-used subset of the class of ambiguity averse preferences. This finding illustrates tha...
