From my perspective, I agree with the view by Laurence Kotlikoff that Economists need a code of conduct, and to be honest with themselves. Everyone should be honest regardless of what he/she does and respect others. For economic field, every economist should possess these qualities. For example, resolving a big and hard economic problem
need a long time sometimes because economy is a complex domain actually.When older economists report some related sources of
their findings, young and new economists should respect their achievements even
though their findings can be improved. In addition, being honest is the most
important. These is no doubt, one person’s ability is limited for thinking and
understanding an economic problem like a relationship between two specific
academic terms. At that time, he is likely to need help or suggestions
from some resources. Then he should disclose basic information about those
resources if he wants to report his findings. And joining economic profession
is to discover economic facts due to own interests rather than trying to invent
them by own unusual but wonderful thinking.
For me, I consider to find a job about economy so now I am doing many things such as joining an economic organization, reading some economic researches and analyzing some economic problems to help prepare me for work in economic field. These ways are effective and I always following these ethic guidelines above. While reading researches of the economy, I must respect their findings because things in studies or researches all can assist me to understand the economy or analyze economic problems. Furthermore, I would be honest all the time while determining to join an economic organization because everyone admires honest persons and it can urge to form a good quality for doing anything. All in all, I am happy to follow these guidelines no matter where I am.
