Positions

Economic schools of thought — Austrian, post-Keynesian, MMT, empirical pragmatist, and others — each pinned to the specific, falsifiable predictions it makes. The framework cites these positions; it does not endorse any. Each school's predictions are tested independently against the registry's pre-registered hypotheses.
