Deductive Economics

Paper Summary:

This paper deals with the application of macroeconomic principals to real-world problems, by detailing and analyzing instances in which the fictional protagonist makes deductions about criminal behavior patterns by using economic concepts.

From the Paper:

"Economics is not something the average person thinks of as being practical in an everyday sense. Most people "excepting those who are economists" are only exposed to economic thinking when they're filing their tax returns, or when they're trying to figure out why Alan Greenspan can announce that he doesn't feel so well today and suddenly the stock market crashes (why is that, anyway?). Fortunately, Professor Henry Spearman is not an everyday person. In fact, the protagonist of Marshall Jevons' "A Deadly Indifference" proves that economic thinking can not only be practical, but can actually solve crimes. This came as no surprise to me, of course, because I am a regular viewer of "The X-Files," where such extraordinary things happen every week."
