Autism and Economics

Post Reply New Topic

An economics professor at George Mason University by the name of Tyler Cowen wrote an academic paper on Autism. I thought you all may find this interesting. I can't give an opinion either way because it's finals week, but I wanted to share this.

For some reason the download did not work, but from the concept, autism is the Second Opinion needed.

One of the failures of economics, judgeing all as a rational marketplace, when in fact, there are many marketplaces.

There is a noted divergence of thought and perception, which has just been called wrong, but the broader autism phenotype is almost a third, that all to some degree, favor autistic thought.

I could not stop reading this is like the most awesome thing. Although the game theory thing has me thinking could we teach autistics the normal social interaction skills through game theory to teach them social skills how other people act.

It does mention comparative advantage which I thought of independently. I have to leave now but this is amazing.
