> "but your schooling probably lied to you." When I was in community college, I took a microeconomics class, and the textbook that was assigned to us cited the Freedom Index made by the Heritage Foundation (which led to me making shitty freedom-vs.-educational attainment regression plots 🫠)

Economics Textbook: Economics (Boyes & Melvin 2015)

Boyes & Melvin (2015, p. 9, §1.2-§1.2a), page on "Economic Freedom" and its index as devised by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal.

Excerpt from Boyes & Melvin (2015, p. 9, §1.2a): "The Wall Street Journal and the Heritage Foundation coauthor an annual measure of economic freedom called the Index of Economic Freedom (a similar measure is provided by the Fraser Institute). The authors of the Index attempt to measure how much free, voluntary trade is affected by government. In 2008, the United States was ranked 5, the fifth most economically free country. Today it is ranked 10th. According to the Index of Economic Freedom, the United States slipped in 2010 from the group of countries called “free” to the group of countries called “mostly free” because the role of the U.S. government in the economy expanded from 2009 on. The top 10 economically freest nations are listed in Table 1."

Table 1 lists the first ten (10) countries by their rank, "overall score," and change in score from previous year. They are:

Hong Kong, #1, score of 89.9,
Singapore, #2, score of 87.5,
Australia, #3, score of 83.1,
New Zealand, #4, 82.1,
Switzerland, #5, score of 81.1,
Canada, #6, score of 79.9,
Chile, #7, 78.3,
Mauritius, #8, 77.0,
Ireland, #9, 76.9,
United States, #10, 76.3

I just read the abstract, but I agree with it (so far). In the work that I do, I’m tempted to “formalise everything,” but deep down I feel that’s not always right. Also, fwiw there are “many-model” approaches where many models with their own assumptions are aggregated to produce a result :-)

Book: The Model Thinker (S. E. Page, 2021)

Chapter 3: The Science of Many Models

Nothing is less real than realism. Details are confusing. It is only by selection, by elimination, by emphasis that we get to the real meaning of things. —Georgia O’Keeffe

In this chapter, we take a scientific approach to motivate the many-model approach. We begin with the Condorcet jury theorem and the diversity prediction theorem, which make quantifiable cases for the value of many models in helping us act, predict, and explain. These theorems may overstate the […]

Brief Description of the Condorcet Jury Theorem:

Each of an odd number of people (models) classifies an unknown state of the world as either true or false. Each person (model) classifies correctly with a probability p > 1/2, and the probability that any person (model) classifies correctly is statistically independent of the correctness of any other person (model).

Condorcet jury theorem: A majority vote classifies correctly with higher probability than any person (model), and as the number of people (models) becomes large, the accuracy of the majority vote approaches 100%.

different simplifications but with a common biological assumption. Then, if these models, despite their different assumptions, lead to similar results, we have what we can call a robust theorem, which is relatively free of the details of the model. Hence our truth is the intersection of independent lies.” Note that here he aspires to a unanimity of classification. When many models make a common classification, our confidence should soar.

Our next theorem, the diversity prediction theorem, applies to models that make numerical predictions or valuations. It quantifies the contributions of model accuracy and model diversity to the accuracy of the average of those models.

Diversity Prediction Theorem: Many-Model Error = Average-Model Error − Diversity of Model Predictions
