Looking forward to the Vienna summer school on the history and epistemology of econometrics. Probably never had a preparatory reading list this long for anything (not half is in the pic 😅)

How to represent and communicate uncertainty in climate science and other policy-relevant research?

Workshop Making Sense of Uncertainty in Science and Policy is starting at the SOCRATES research group at @iphilluh.bsky.social

Last week I started as a postdoc fellow at @iphilluh.bsky.social in the "SOCRATES" Centre (Social Credibility and Trustworthiness of Expert Knowledge & Science-Based Information). I will study philosophical questions related to economic expertise. How to recognize most relevant and reliable experts?

Fascinating and diverse thread here!

I co-authored a philosophy of economics paper that tries to map which kinds of intellectual diversity might lead to which kinds of epistemic benefits and what kinds of costs are involved in all this. doi.org/10.1177/0048...

My PhD dissertation "Philosophical Inquiries into Pluralism in Economics" is out!

It consists of intro essay 📖 urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978...

and four peer-reviewed papers
