I'm fascinated by her refusal to encode her ideas into a model. I see a lot of those tensions (between models and more general "frameworks" with context) in work on fairness in decision-making.
Curious what you mean - did she explicitly refuse? It seems as though she was very aware of the value of deep empirical work, looking at the specifics of many cases, so in that sense she wasn't very model based. But, e.g., her famous principles suggest many models.
I'll have to pull up the passage but I believe she did explicitly refuse
Very interesting! Reminds me of a great contrary case by Krugman, arguing the virtues of simple models, even when they fail to capture very complex situations. Here's a small piece of a much longer argument (from http://web.mit.edu/krugman/www/howiwork.html … )pic.twitter.com/Ndy43oiZ9s
Oh I like! Fwiw I've tried to push myself more in that direction. I suspect ppl who bias towards complexity should try to correct in the other direction, and vice versa 
The ability to do both seems to be a superpower!
In a way, it's perhaps a superpower both Krugman & Ostrom have: Ostrom boiling great complexity down to principles and a framework for thought (though not quite models); Krugman, in his professional research, developing simple models that give new insight into complexity.
It's simplicity on the other side of complexity.
