DESCRIPTION:In this presentation we explore the hypothesis that constraine
 d uses of imagination are crucial to economic modelling. We propose a theo
 retical framework to develop this thesis through a number of specific hypo
 theses that we test and refine through six new\, representative case studi
 es. Our ultimate goal is to develop a philosophical account that is practi
 ce oriented and informed by empirical evidence. To do this\, we deploy an 
 abductive reasoning strategy. We start from a robust set of hypotheses and
  leave space for the generation of further hypotheses and theoretical clai
 ms based on the qualitative analysis of new empirical data.
