The article entitled "Life among the Econ" was written in the style of an anthropologist's study on a tribe of economists called the "Econ" (Leijonhufvud [1973]).4 In this article, the Econ live in the far north and the status of the members is determined by their skill in making elaborated "modls" (taken from "model" used in economics) of their "field" of study.
But "most of these 'modls' seem to be of little or no practical use." As for the "field" of study, the "Math-Econ" is considered as ranking higher than the "Devlops," where Math-Econ and Devlops respectively refer to scholars of mathematical economics and development economics.
