I've no real opinion on whether not Economics is a "science" (whatever that word with scare quotes means), however it is interesting that you appear to ignore the quote from that article:

"Economists have always been skeptical of the correlation/causality on this."

My impression has been that it is the worst kind of politicians that choose to cherry pick only those studies and evidence that reinforce their philosophical views in order to justify the policies they pursue, however that might just be my technologist background.

I do wonder what the Reinhart & Rogoff booboo has to do with Internet Governance.
