The mathematician has the least skin in the game

 Sort of by definition, she is allowed to have any prior she chooses. If mathematicians comment on the blogs and witters, they use sock puppets because they personally do not want the 'kill the messenger' problem. They end up solving things anyway because eventually the myriad of assumptions they consider will hit whatever fundamentals the economy holds.  then there is no ore work except identifying the few, of the many, economists who actually got the right assumptions.
