“…Many methodologists acknowledge that they have had very little impact on economists. In fact, Claveau et al (2021) show that even contributions on economic methodology published in economics journals other than those specialized in the philosophy of economics (Economics and Philosophy and the Journal of Economic Methodology) do not cite EM/PE very much (see Section 3 below). Given the lack of impact on economists, Mäki (2021) suggests an alternative target-audience category, namely (iv) the wider intellectual public and (science) policy makers with an interest in, and in uence on, economics as an institution of knowledge production.…”

“…The quantitative account of the trends in EM/PE we provide in this section draws on a recent bibliometric study, namely "Philosophy of economics? Three decades of bibliometric history" (Claveau et al 2021). One of the motivations behind this study was to conduct an empirical investigation into existing, well-informed "qualitative" accounts of the evolution and the status of EM/PE as a discipline, and to compare them with the results of a quantitative bibliometric analysis.…”

“…The bibliometric study conducted by Claveau et al (2021) analyses two distinct sets of publications that could be considered EM/PE. The rst set or "corpus" represents what the authors label "Specialized Philosophy of Economics," and contains publications from 1990 to 2020 in what are considered to be the two main journals in the discipline: Economics and Philosophy (E&P) and the Journal of Economic Methodology (JEM).…”

We present bibliometric evidence for increasing estrangement between the philosophy of economics and economics itself. Our analysis centers on research articles published in the Journal of Economic Methodology (JEM) between 1994 and 2021. We analyze the citations within these research articles, in particular with respect to the citations of economics. Our results are fourfold. (1) The share of economic citations in JEM articles has been decreasing. (2) The remaining economic citations in JEM articles are increasingly older relative to citation patterns within economics. (3) The profile of economic citations in JEM articles is increasingly dissimilar when compared to what is cited within economics. (4) There is decreasing diversity with regards to the share of attention towards different economic subfields in the articles published in JEM when compared to economics. We discuss interpretations of this evidence for estrangement between philosophy of economics and economics.
