Economic theory is usually concerned with analyzing certain issues only at the conceptual level. This conceptual exploration researches internal properties of the models rather than delve into empirical questions. Robert Sugden assumes that models in economics have interest only if they are directed to say something about the real world. Sugden suggests that models should describe credible worlds and it is this credibility that gives us guarantees to make inductive inference, the most appropriate inference as a bridge from the model to the reality.
