The genius of Econ Journal Watch is that it stimulates higher scientific standards in economic research. Most of the bold research comes from people who firmly believe in a theory and who search for evidence that supports it. Ideal scientific economists are supposed to search thoroughly for all evidence that might falsify their theory, but they rarely do. The discipline instead comes from other economists who have competing theories. EJW Journal Watch , and I am delighted that economics has Econ Journal Watch .
