Answer:
A. Wait for real-world events to confirm or refute the hypothesis.
B. Conduct one or more experiments.
Explanation:
Hypothesis by economists can lead to results that can decide economic policy. As such, it is important that they are tried and tested.
One way of testing a hypothesis is the standard method of conducting one of more experiments. These experiments will simulate world settings so that the experiment can be as close as possible to the real world.
Another method is to experience the hypothesis. The economist could just wait for events in the real world to either confirm or deny the hypothesis because the economy is dynamic and has been known to react uniquely to events that it otherwise should not have reacted to. It is therefore likely that it might react in a certain way that will enable the economist test their hypothesis.
