I think this is one of the reasons Econ as a field has stagnated. (THIs is v hard to defend but bear with me). People have no reason to share / peer review their findings. It is extremely advantageous to share no, or bad advice. Hence why you get the 2007/08 housing bubble, as hundreds of econ professors peddle COMPLETELY false economic theory and results based analysis.
In fact, many still are. Not much has changed in the field of economics. How data science isn't a mandatory requirement for such a data driven field just shows to me how immature the field is.
? I mean economics has been politicized extensively. Other than that economics is applied math and behavior. Systems of equations, Markov chains, game theory, ... Then there are specific levers one can push (inject money, take out money, regulate or not regulate). These basically modify the transition probabilities on specific states. 2007/08 was predictable fundamentally because wages didn't keep up with house rising house prices.
