Abstract

It is well-known that economic experts (as well as other experts) are biased. However, it is not normally demonstrated systematically. By identifying and analyzing the viewpoints of the most quoted Danish expert on five characteristic debates bias is demonstrated. The character of the bias is analyzed including an uncovering of the underlying axiomatic assumptions. Finally, possible implications of the results are discussed – especially for journalists coping with experts while trying to produce less partial stories.
