I can only admire you for getting into this. I tried to read and understand Peirce a few years ago but found it much too difficult. Good luck.

Dear colleagues,

Would you be aware of any case studies (current or historical) or
concrete examples of Peirce's retroductive / abductive inferences in
economics (preferably) and the social sciences?

I know Tony Lawson and Philip Mirowski discuss and offer some examples
but not much else.

Thank you.

All the best,
