经济学学术界（也许）正变得越来越不适合Nerd性格的人

原来你在UWM啊。我之前见过Buzz一次，感觉他是那种外表看起来做什么事都很严肃，但实际很爱开玩笑的人。所 ...

Brock那次只是开玩笑啦，我的意思是这个事情被作为玩笑来开本身，就说明有一些人是会在意的，学术圈又不大，为这种小事得罪人特别没必要

没错！

然后我感觉在美国很多经济学教授还会有自己的一首固定歌曲，就是把一首很流行的歌改几句词，变得和经济学有关，遇到活动的时候拿出来表演。我估计这个要是抄袭的话后果应该真的很严重:lol

比如Brock每年系里的聚餐都是带着布什的面具跳踢踏舞。。。

成堆的数理经济学的研究到底有多少推动了经济学的进步？是不是应该试图改变现在的“主流“而不是顺应？小 ...

Hum......it depends on how you define 'mathematical economics'.

If it is just economics that uses calculus/linear algebra/probability and statistics or maybe very basic analysis, I guess that 95% of the papers, which make a real contribution, use math at this level. You can't change it because any attempt of changing econ to a verbal-reasoning discipline would be scientifically destructive.  

If what you mean is pure-theoretical micro/macro theory stuff (Don't get confused. If someone uses utility maximization in an economic context that hasn't been explored before, it is not consider 'theoretical micro'. There are different levels of 'theoretical', lol. Contents in MWG are 'theoretical micro' 30 years ago), I would say that most of the econ guys don't do that. Thus it is not necessary to 'change' a small proportion of people. Let them do what they like, and you do what you like.

New mathematical tools are being developed... so it's hard to define the term "mathematical economics"
For example, fractional calculus, network theory (based on spectral graph theory)
and also some complex system analyses...
