Logic, Spock, logic.
Empirical science relies on observation and experimentation to gather data and test hypotheses, while formal science uses logic and mathematical reasoning to develop theories and models.
Economics is considered an empirical science because it is a science based on observations of experiences.It has to do with people. People change. So that makes economics an empirical study. It's not like maths (1+1= 2 principle doesn't make sense in economics).
An empirical approach, as opposed to a rational approach, where problems are tackled via deductive systems (e.g.) logic), analyses a problem via data using inferential and statistical methods. In science, a primarily empirical approach is often known as the Scientific Method, a well-established and accepted methodology for investigation.
Empirical method is generally taken to mean the collection of data on which to base a theory or derive a conclusion in science.
One of the basic differences between science and pseudoscience is a lack of empirical research. Empirical research must meet the rigors of validity and reliability criteria to be considered science.
empirical research is the study that research put himself/herself into practice, e.g. experiments,fieldwork, interview, observation non empirical refers to the study that data gather from existing information, e.g. documentation, literature
Science is primarily concerned with the natural world and relies on empirical observation, experimentation, and repeatability. It is limited in its ability to address questions of morality, ethics, and subjective experiences, which fall outside the realm of empirical measurement. Additionally, scientific knowledge is provisional, subject to change with new evidence, which means it cannot provide absolute truths. Ultimately, science does not encompass questions of meaning or purpose that are often explored through philosophy and the humanities.

Empirical research is research that is done by directly observing something. An example is your basic science experiment that you learn in grade school.
Two elements that characterize the practice of science are hypothesis and empirical evidence.
Empirical evidence, science, pseudoscience
Characteristics of scientific methods are following: 1. Science is Objective 2. Science is Empirical 3. Science is Public 4. Science is systematic 5. Science is predictable
