LGBTQ Economists
Economics is the study of the functioning of society and its economy by way of its financial and business dealings. These dealings include employment, production, the determination of prices, social interactions, transportation, purchases, and much more. Since much of economics involves the analysis of the financial transactions between members of society, it is not surprising that issues such as bias, preferences and subjective behaviour are important to the analysis, much as they are to the LGBTQ community.
There is an ongoing debate in the profession as to whether economics is a science or an art. Without doubt, a great deal of attention and rigour is paid to statistical data from the past, what financial and business trends and relationships can be perceived from this data, and how reliably one can posit behavioural outcomes for the future based on this past data. The question focuses on the accuracy of predictions based on past behaviour in similar circumstances,
Economics is often described as the 'dismal science' based on its often gloomy outlook for future financial and business predictions.
