The representatives of the Austrian School reject the mathematization of economics, including “empirical economics,” and for good reasons: unlike in the natural sciences, in the realm of human action there are no homogeneous, uniform observations from which regularities/laws could be derived. More to the point, the doctrines of positivism, empiricism, and falsificationism suffer from serious epistemological defects. In the natural sciences this is often not a problem, because there actually are regularities that can be discovered and established in this way. But positivism–empiricism–falsificationism lead to severe and insurmountable problems in economics. In short: the Austrians do not regard economics as an empirical science, but as an a priori science of human action (and their scientific method is praxeology). Of course one can draw on data in economics if you want to illustrate something; regularities/laws, however, cannot be proven with them.
