經濟學帝國主義[1]是指當代經濟學對生活中似是而非的經濟方面的經濟分析,[2]例如犯罪經濟學,[3]法律經濟學,[4]家庭經濟學,[5]偏見經濟學,[6]口味經濟學,[7]非理性行為經濟學,[8]政治經濟學,[9]社會經濟學,[10]文化經濟學,[11]宗教經濟學,[12]戰爭經濟學,[13]科學經濟學,[14]和研究經濟學。相關術語的使用可以追溯到20世紀30年代。[15]
這樣分析的出現歸因於經濟學方法,就像物理科學一樣,它允許通過標準統計技術檢驗出實證經濟的影響[16][17]。這種方法的核心是由「效用最大化、穩定的偏好和市場均衡」組成,並完整地、全面地和從始至終地運用了它們。[18]據稱,這些以及經濟效率重點關注的部分被其它的社會科學和"以入侵先前被定義為該學科範圍以外的知識領域的被承認的經濟學忽略了。[19]
