摘要：

Irving Fisher believed in evidence-based decision making. This paper considers how three aspects of Fisher's methodology could be useful now in the quest to deal with U. S. financial instability: (1) his institutional approach; (2) his efforts to use index number theory as a means to improve official statistics data; and (3) his interest in automating aspects of data analyses. The paper concludes with a call to action for Fisher's progeny. Actions to solve US financial instability are surely the most fitting possible tribute to Irving Fisher.
