Abstract: Many scholars, especially from other disciplines, have voiced
concerns regarding an oversimplified interpretation of Adam Smith's ideas,
asserting that it has been exploited to advance a particular free market
ideology. This paper uses Galenson's economic framework for creativity to
analyze Adam Smith's approach to innovation and some of his main
contributions. Galenson distinguishes between two types of innovators in
art: the conceptual and the experimental. We show that Smith exhibits all
the characteristics of the experimental innovator. His experimental
approach is evident in the development of The Theory of Moral Sentiments
and many of the ideas developed in The Wealth of Nations. Smith has had a
significant influence on important conceptual innovators in economics of
the 20th century, such as Paul Samuelson, George Stigler, Robert Lucas and
Gary Becker. Conceptual innovators often tend to simplify by using
abstraction. Their effort to formalize and incorporate Smith ideas using a
conceptual language may explain why there is a simplified understanding of
Smith and his contributions.

2. Econometric Causality: The Central Role of Thought Experiments

Abstract: This paper examines the econometric causal model and the
interpretation of empirical evidence based on thought experiments that was
developed by Ragnar Frisch and Trygve Haavelmo. We compare the econometric
causal model with two currently popular causal frameworks: the Neyman-Rubin
causal model and the Do-Calculus. The Neyman-Rubin causal model is based on
the language of potential outcomes and was largely developed by
statisticians. Instead of being based on thought experiments, it takes
statistical experiments as its foundation. The Do-Calculus, developed by
Judea Pearl and co-authors, relies on Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) and is
a popular causal framework in computer science and applied mathematics. We
make the case that economists who uncritically use these frameworks often
discard the substantial benefits of the econometric causal model to the
detriment of more informative analyses. We illustrate the versatility and
capabilities of the econometric framework using causal models developed in
economics.

Abstract: This paper discusses Richard Arena’s insightful and original
contributions to interpreting the important interaction between Piero
Sraffa and Ludwig Wittgenstein. It discusses this in terms of dilemmas they
each encountered in transitions in their thinking in the 1930s, emphasizes
the influence of Sraffa’s unpublished “Surplus Product†text, compares
Sraffa’s critique of “natural science point of view†and
Wittgenstein’s critique of logical form, and compares Sraffa’s later
understanding of the relationship between production and distribution and
Wittgenstein’s later understanding of forms of life and language-games.
The paper argues this thinking opened up a approach to economic philosophy
in connection with the distinction between open and closed systems. Arena
has been a leading proponent open systems thinking in economics. He thus
reminds us, in Wittgenstein’s words – ‘Don’t think, but look!’
– or look beyond what one might think ones sees in a closed systems way.
Keywords: Arena, Sraffa, Wittgenstein, surplus product, language games,
open-closed systems

4. «Сознательно-товарищеские» начала организационно-управленческой

By: Kleiner, George
<http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Kleiner,%20George>
Abstract: The publication is devoted to theoretical foundations in the
field of system socio¬economic space, reflected in the works of Russian
philosopher and encyclopedist A.A.Bogdanov. Based on the concept of
socially-organized experience, reflecting basic principles about the laws
of organization, acting in technology (organization of things), economy
(organization of people), politics (organization of ideas), the article
substantiates the idea of the special role of space and time, first
proposed by A.Bogdanov in relation to economic systems and system economic
theory. In this conceptual context searching for new approaches and
rethinking of theoretical capital are considered in order to transform
economic systems in the direction of increasing their efficiency. It is
noted that Bogdanov’s concept is the first scientific concept that
integrates the ideas of cybernetics, general systems theory and
synergetics. The author draws attention to the Bogdanov’s attempt to
generalize the universal organizational laws governing the behavior and
structure of fundamentally new complex systems, which is characterized as
“universal organizational science.” The article develops a conceptual model
of qualitative equilibrium interaction of the basic subsystems of the
economic system in the context of information exchange. Based on the
presented information model of the economic system in accordance with
Bogdanov’s ideas conclusions are drawn that this teaching, in combination
with modern systemic economic theory, can become the theoretical basis for
general economic analysis. Arguments are given in favor of a revival of
interest in understanding the ideas of Bogdanov, in particular in
understanding the “space of the economy” and the concept of “conscious
cooperation”, which can complement or oppose the concept of competition.
His main ideas about a society based on “consciously comradely principles”
are noted, which are of scientific interest in the context of regulating
the fair and dishonest behavior of economic entities. The article allows us
to approach the assessment of the diversity of Bogdanov’s ideas from
different positions, reserving the opportunity for each scientist to form
his own view and approach to this process of rethinking his many theses and
tools.
Keywords: organizational science, space and time, tectology, economic
system, system economic theory, information model, basic subsystems

5. One Hundred Years of Exchange Rate Economics at The University of
Chicago: 1892-1992 <http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:nbr:nberwo:31928>
By: Sebastian Edwards
<http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Sebastian%20Edwards>
Abstract: In this paper I analyze the work on exchange rates and
external imbalances by University of Chicago faculty members during the
university’s first hundred years, 1892-1992. Many people associate
Chicago’s views with Milton Friedman’s advocacy for flexible exchange
rates. But, of course, there was much more than that, including the work of
J. Laurence Laughlin on bimetallism, Jacob Viner on the balance of
payments, Lloyd Metzler on transfers, Harry Johnson on trade and
currencies, Lloyd Mints on exchange rate regimes, Robert Mundell on optimal
currency areas, and Arnold Harberger on shadow exchange rates, among other.
The analysis shows that, although different scholars emphasized different
issues, there was a common thread in this research, anchored on the role of
relative prices’ changes during the adjustment process.

6. Estimating Returns to Schooling and Experience: A History of Thought
<http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:gwi:wpaper:2023-12>
By: Barry Chiswick
<http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Barry%20Chiswick> (George
Washington University)
Abstract: This paper is a review of the literature in economics up to
the early 1980s on the issue of estimating the earnings return to schooling
and labor market experience. It begins with a presentation of Adam Smith's
(1776) analysis of wage determination, with the second of his five points
on compensating wage differentials being "the easiness or cheapness, or the
difficulty and expense" of acquiring skills. It then proceeds to the
analysis by Walsh (1935) estimating the net present value of investments at
various levels of educational attainment. Friedman and Kuznets (1945) also
used the net present value method to study the earnings in five independent
professional practices. Based on the net present value technique, Becker
(1964) estimates internal rates of return from high school and
college/university schooling, primarily for native-born white men, but also
for other demographic groups. The first regression-based approach is the
development of the schooling-earnings function by Becker and Chiswick
(1966), which relates the logarithm of earnings, as a linear function of
years invested in human capital, with the application to years of
schooling. This was expanded by Mincer (1974) to the "human capital
earnings function" (HCEF), which added years of post-school labor market
experience. Attractive features of the HCEF are discussed. Extensions of
the HCEF in the 1970s and early 1980s account for interrupted labor marker
experience, geographic mobility, and self-employment and unpaid family
workers.

Abstract: In early April 1929, eight Swedish savings banks were found
insolvent and closed due to economic crimes committed by some of their
founders. After the crash, the Swedish parliament entered a debate about
whether the state should cover some, all or none of the losses of the
failed banks’ 88 000 depositors. The debate, mainly between the right party
and the social democrats, was characterized by competing narratives about
the causes of the crash, whether the state should intervene or not, whether
there existed an implicit deposit insurance or not, who should be covered
among the depositors, by how much, and how an intervention should be funded
and administered. The debate, and the policy decision, is unique in Swedish
banking history and illustrate the importance of narratives to understand
political responses to bank crashes and crises. The debate ended in mid-May
with a decision to partially cover the depositors’ losses.

Abstract: Economic rationality puts constraints on the preferences
and/or degrees of belief (subjective probabilities or credences) of a
decision maker (DM). This paper focuses on a belief-based definition of
rationality (referred to as BEL): BEL requires DM's credences to be
precise, unique, ascertainable, coherent and asymptotically accurate. We
distinguish two types of DMs, the "expert"(DMs) and the "naive"(DMo) ones,
and ask whether and how BEL may be achieved by either of them. To answer
this we define two sets of cognitive/epistemic properties, Ys and Yo for
DMs and DMo, respectively and show that Ys and Yo form the basis of the
corresponding processes (referred to as Bayesian Confirmation (BC) and
"trial and error, frequency-based (TEFB), respectively) by which DMs and
DMo reach BEL. This means that on the assumption that Ys and Yo are
empirically valid, the naive decision maker thinks probabilistically
"as-if" she were the expert. An important difference between this paper and
the related literature concerns the obscurity" of the "as-if" process. In
our approach, this is a concrete process, namely TEFB, instead of an
unspecified, "black box" one. We also argue that some of the assumptions in
Yo (on which standard arguments of rationality - such as the Dutch Book and
Arbitrage arguments - are based) are empirically questionable. Finally, we
suggest that although BEL is the normative standard against which beliefs
must be measured and judged, the actual rationality of decision makers
comes in degrees (graded rationality). The smooth functioning of the
economic system requires decision makers who are "sufficiently" rather than
"perfectly" rational.

Abstract: Using textual analysis of 173, 031 works printed in England
between 1500 and 1900, we test whether British culture evolved to manifest
a heightened belief in progress associated with science and industry. Our
analysis yields three main fndings. First, there was a separation in the
language of science and religion beginning in the 17th century. Second,
scientifc volumes became more progress-oriented during the Enlightenment.
Third, industrial works—especially those at the science-political economy
nexus—were more progress-oriented beginning in the 17th century. It was
therefore the more pragmatic, industrial works which refected the cultural
values cited as important for Britain’s takeof.

Abstract: Although a certain incommensurability between Soviet and
Western Marxism has been assumed in a wide variety of studies, no research
has been done on the genesis of the split between the two traditions in the
context of the political turmoil of the 1920s. The current study aims to
address this issue. By highlighting the commitment of the so-called
‘fathers of Western Marxism’ to the political tactics of left communism, I
argue that the tradition of Western Marxism emerged specifically as a
philosophical justification for what in the Soviet Union was considered the
‘ultra-left’ political ideology. Further, I demonstrate that that the works
of Karl Korsch and Georg Lukacs were read precisely in this light by the
Bolshevik philosophers whose criticism marked an important watershed in the
genesis of the split between Western and Soviet Marxists.

Abstract: The Shift Project recently challenged French management
scholars on the lack of commitment regarding the ecological and energy
transition of the various higher education structures. To evaluate if this
call to change French management education has some chances of success, we
compare what the Shift Project proposes today with the transformation
program of management education implemented by the Ford foundation between
1954 and 1966 in the USA. This comparison makes it possible to identify
three principles of action likely to lead to a greater integration of
ecological and energy issues in French higher management education
structures. It also allows us to understand that the FNEGE is likely to
play a pivotal role in this transition dynamic.
Abstract: Le Shift Project a récemment interpellé les différentes

fondation Ford aux États-Unis dans les années 1950/1960. Cette comparaison
permet de dégager trois principes d'action susceptibles de conduire à une
meilleure intégration des enjeux écologiques et énergétiques. Elle permet
également de comprendre que la FNEGE est susceptible de jouer un rôle pivot
dans cette dynamique de transition.

Abstract: This paper aims to identify the factors contributing to the
diffusion of ideas in econometrics by paying particular attention to
connectivity in content and social networks. Considering a sample of 17,
260 research papers in econometrics over the 1980-2020 period, we rely on
Structural Topic Models to extract and categorize topics relevant to key
domains in the discipline. Using a hurdle count model, we show that both
content and social connectivity among the authors (i.e., social
connectivity) enhance the likelihood of non-zero citation counts and play a
key role in shaping the diffusion of econometric ideas. We also find that
high topic connectivity augmented by robust social connectivity among
authors or authoring teams further enhances econometric ideas' diffusion
success. Finally, our findings unveil an inverted U-shaped relationship
between connectivity and the success of idea diffusion; the latter
initially escalates but starts to wane upon reaching a certain threshold.
Keywords: Connectivity; Idea diffusion; Econometric publications;
Citations; Structural Topic Model; Hurdle count model.
