STRESZCZENIE
Mimo że ekonomia neoklasyczna nieustannie spotyka się z krytyką, to pozostaje dominującym paradygmatem nauk ekonomicznych. Dzieje się tak głównie ze względu na wykorzystanie strategii immunizacji opartych na niefalsyfikowalnych koncepcjach użyteczności i racjonalności. W niniejszym artykule oceniono, czy użycie teorii filozoficznych Karla Poppera jest uzasadnione. Po pierwsze, zrekonstruowano idee Poppera dotyczące strategii immunizacji, analizy sytuacyjnej, zasady racjonalności i metafizycznego programu badawczego. Po drugie, poddano analizie to, w jaki sposób strategie immunizacji ekonomii neoklasycznej działają w obliczu krytyki ze strony ekonomii behawioralnej. Stwierdzono, że aplikacja metod ekonomii neoklasycznej nie skutkuje nowymi domysłami empirycznymi. Rezultat ten oceniono w odniesieniu do zasady racjonalności – ze względu na jego podobieństwo do aksjomatu optymalizacji ekonomii neoklasycznej. Ponadto w celu ukazania, że analiza ta nie ma charakteru jedynie historycznego, zbadano znaczenie teorii Poppera w kontekście niedawnego włączenia w ramach ekonomii neoklasycznej spostrzeżeń z obszaru ekonomii behawioralnej.
