Consistent and Transparent? The Problem of Longitudinal Poverty Records
The World Bank and leading donors have emphasized the importance of evidence-based policy making in addressing entrenched poverty. Adoption of Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers has also required establishing and updating poverty baselines, typically through Living Standards Measurement Surveys. Although the conceptual basis of these surveys has been questioned, little attention has been paid to whether frequent revisions to the longitudinal recor…

Privatization, Income Distribution, and Poverty: The Mongolian Experience
Further Reflections on Critical Realism
We deal with the main points of Fleetwood's response to our earlier paper and argue that our main contentions remain intact. Critical Realism (CR) remains epistemologically weak; its claims for the usefulness of explanatory power are unconvincing; and, in particular, it provides little help in assessing rival theories. Furthermore, its appreciation of alternative theoretical accounts is underdeveloped because of the tendency to use broad ontologi…
Regulatory and Development Dilemmas in the Post-Crisis Asian Economies
This paper discusses the emerging evidence relating to the origins and aftermath of the 1997 Asian financial crisis and its implications for the regulation of the short-term capital account. First, it suggests that the evidence supports an interpretation of the crisis as arising from the inherent instability of short-term, highly liquid capital markets rather than one which focuses solely on common, fundamental weaknesses in the most affected eco…
Critical Realism as a Basis for Economic Methodology: A critique
This paper considers the claim that critical realism provides a convincing critique of mainstream economics and offers a sound methodological basis for an alternative approach. It argues that critical realism presents a tendentious definition of positivism and a characterisation of mainstream economics that is misleading, and that it misrepresents the nature and purpose of the work of Hume and modern Humean philosophers. It also argues that criti…

On the Coherence of Post‐Keynesian Economics
Recently the claim that post‐Keynesianism represents a coherent alternative to orthodox/neoclassical theory has regained favour with many leading post‐Keynesians. The purpose of this paper is to consider the basis for any such claim that post‐Keynesianism is a coherent alternative. A variety of forms of coherence are considered in relation to post‐Keynesian analyses and a number of shortcomings are identified. The broad conclusion is that post‐Ke…
