“…It can be observed that the sample is composed of respondents who identify themselves as heterodox, as most of them marked values 8, 9, or 10 on the orthodox/heterodox scale. Although the questionnaire dissemination process aimed to reach professors and students from all economics postgraduate programs in Brazil, and the Brazilian academic landscape has been identified as pluralistic (Dequech, 2018;Fernandez and Suprinyak, 2019), with a reasonably similar distribution between orthodox and heterodox views, it is interesting to note the concentration of heterodox views in the sample. The reasons for this can only be speculated upon, but perhaps the main explanation is that some orthodox economists do not recognize the relevance of the debate on the intellectual and methodological differences between orthodoxy and heterodoxy, considering heterodox views merely as anti-empirical and based on the support of stylized facts narratives (Lisboa and Pessoa, 2016), which may have reduced their motivation to respond and share the questionnaire with their professional colleagues.…”
