I need help with some research I am doing on the link between epistemological naturalism and economics. I am trying to compile a list of branches of economics that use the results and/or methods of another science. Here is what I have come up with so far:

1. Evolutionary economics (Schumpeter)
2. Econophysics
3. Experimental economics (Smith on auctions)
4. Neuroeconomics
5. Behavioural economics
6. Gravity model of trade
7. Game theory (Nash)

Have I missed anything obvious? Would be grateful for any suggestions you might have.

How about thermoeconomics? Not that I'm actually familiar with it beyond what Wikipedia has to say about it.

Great. Thanks John.

Econometrics? Or is this a general title for most of the above?

Econometrics is the branch of economics based on quantitative analysis and statistics so you are not wrong to suggest it. Technically it belongs on my list but, given that most of economics has been mathematically based for the last century or so, I am more concerned with disciplines that draw on other branches of science.

Thanks for the suggestion though. It made me think about the crietria I am using for inclusion on the list.
