Edoardo Peruzzi's paper āProgress in Model-Based Sciences: Reframing the Relationship Between Horizontal and Vertical Progress in Economics,ā has been accepted for publication in the Philosophy of Science: PSA 2026 Contributed Paper Proceedings. philsci-archive.pitt.edu/id/eprint/29...

He proposes a framework based on theoretical templates as intermediate representational structures that generate families of models. On this view, vertical progress consists in systematic development within model families, while horizontal progress consists in the introduction of new templates.
Our team member Bele Wollesen @belewollesen.bsky.social joins this exciting workshop next week!
In the paper, he asks: How does scientific progress work in model-based sciences such as economics? He argues that the common distinction between horizontal and vertical progress in terms of model addition versus model replacement is misleading and does not clarify how the two are related.
Edoardo will present this research at the 30th biennial meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association (PSA) in San Diego in November 2026. psa26.oa-event.com
