Tractable falsifiability

Gradwohl, Ronen; Shmaya, Eran - 2013

We propose to strengthen Popper's notion of falsifiability by adding the requirement that when an observation is inconsistent with a theory, there must be a short proof of this inconsistency. We model the concept of a short proof using tools from computational complexity, and provide some...

We propose to strengthen Popper's notion of falsifiability by adding the requirement that when an observation is inconsistent with a theory, there must be a "short proof" of this inconsistency. We model the concept of a short proof using tools from computational complexity, and provide some...

According to Karl Popper, we can tell good theories from poor ones by assessing their empirical content (empirischer … Gehalt), which basically reflects how much information they convey concerning the world. ``The empirical content of a … experience.'' Two criteria to evaluate the empirical content of a theory are their level of universality (Allgemeinheit) and …

Macaulay’s Problem

Hudík, Marek - International Centre for Economic Research (ICER) - 2013

The model of economic man is either empirically testable and false, or it is non-testable and always true. The fact that neither position is entirely satisfactory is called Macaulay’s problem. This paper first reviews and criticizes various attitudes toward this problem and then argues that...
