If sociology is so much more rigorous, why aren't sociologists invading the economic field? Surely they can use their rigorous statistics to produce papers on economic matters and put the entire field to shame?

If anything, we're seeing the opposite results, where economists publish influential papers demographics, crime and social structure.

"When dealing with humans, linear regression is going to be good enough" is a huge assumption to make.
