Abstract: Grounded theory (GT) has emerged on the basis of different
ontological and epistemological assumptions and is considered as a popular
research approach in many branches of social science. Two American social
scientists; Barney Galland Glaser (1930-2022) and Anselm Leonard Strauss
(1916-1996) have founded it in 1967. Since the start of grounded theory in
social science researches in 1967; more than 50 years have passed, and it
has been using in many branches of social science, such as in nursing,
healthcare, physiotherapy, education, economics, anthropology, sociology,
political science, psychology, etc. Straussian grounded theory is a very
well-known qualitative analysis in the world, and it explores dynamic and
new phenomena. Straussian grounded theory researchers do not build their
research on prearranged hypotheses; instead they develop theory of
wellbeing for the humanity from the collected data of the reality. In this
article an overview and significance of Straussian grounded theory for the
qualitative research method has been discussed. This article also provides
an understanding about the Straussian grounded theory approach for the
novice researchers.
Keywords: Qualitative research, grounded theory, Straussian version,
ontology, epistemology

2. THE MORAL FOUNDATIONS OF CAPITALISM. An Investigation of Adam Smith
Pessimism <http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:udf:wpaper:20230311>
By: Roberto Censolo
<http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Roberto%20Censolo>
Abstract: Smith’s ideal vision of capitalism envisages a virtuous loop
between social prudence and macroeconomic performance that outlines a
“progressive state†of society. The trickle down of wealth strengthens
the confidence in the future and a steady adherence to prudent behaviour.
At the same time, this reinforcing character of prudence encourages liberal
virtues needed for growth. However, a path of perpetual growth is not
conceivable in Smith analysis, considering both a moral and an economic
perspective. Indeed, Smith’s pessimism about the future of commercial
society relates to the intrinsic inability of capitalism to sustain social
prudence in the long run due to an internal contradiction in its
development process. In the progress of division of labour, the industry of
labourers is progressively substituted with the industry of machines.
Therefore, the development process, which is initially sustained by “the
industry of mankind†, endogenously expels those liberal virtues that
grounds a progressive state of society, with crucial social and political
implication.

3. Ladislaus von Bortkiewicz’s Errors and a Reliable Solution to the
Marxian Problem of Transformation in Direct and Inverse Formulation
<http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:osf:osfxxx:xvenh>
By: Kalyuzhnyi, Valeriy
<http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Kalyuzhnyi,%20Valeriy>
Abstract: The paper argues that economists still regard the solution to
the problem of the transformation of values into prices of production, got
by L. von Bortkiewicz, as belonging to Marx himself. After all, it was
allegedly “correctly corrected” by the said author in 1907. Bortkiewicz
based his solution on several erroneous interpretations’ theory of Marx.
Because of Bortkiewicz’s errors, the representatives of the mainstream see
no connection between the “value system” and the “production price system”.
They claim that the transformation problem itself results from
impossibility and that Marxist value theory is, at best, irrelevant and
irremediably inconsistent. The paper shows that the solution to the
transformation issue exists in both the direct and inverse formulation. We
used for this purpose the Tugan-Baranowsky—Bortkiewicz three-sector model.
These results are consistent with the concept of Marx within the dualistic
approach. They coincide with the results generated by the author in his
previous work (see https://osf.io/tk43d/). In the present paper, we
introduce methods and examples of transformation, including iterative and
based on solving systems of simultaneous equations. We prove again with
their help that at equilibrium prices, profit arises from surplus value, or
more precisely, from the newly created value generated by workers’ labour
and from no other source. We also show that a dualistic approach to
transformation allows us to see the advantages of value prices, which,
unlike production prices, do not limit the growth of the productive power
of labour when enterprises introduce new machines. Value prices are in
demand under socialism.

Abstract: Most empirical work in economics has considered only a narrow
set of measures as meaningful and useful to characterize individual
behavior, a restriction justified by the difficulties in collecting a wider
set. However, this approach often forces the use of strong assumptions to
estimate the parameters that inform individual behavior and identify causal
links. In this paper, we argue that a more flexible and broader approach to
measurement could be extremely useful and allow the estimation of richer
and more realistic models that rest on weaker identifying assumptions. We
argue that the design of measurement tools should interact with, and depend
on, the models economists use. Measurement is not a substitute for rigorous
theory, it is an important complement to it, and should be developed in
parallel to it. We illustrate these arguments with a model of parental
behavior estimated on pilot data that combines conventional measures with
novel ones.

Abstract: This paper discusses the transformation of the content, role,
and status of economic research at the Bank of England in the past 60
years. We show how four three factors (the policy functions and missions of
the Bank, the attitude of its executives towards economics, and its
organizational structure) shaped the evolution of in-house economic
research at the Bank during three distinctive periods (1960-1991;
1992-2007; 2007-2014). Our account relies on a broad set of sources and
methods (the Bank's publications, archives, interviews with current and
former Bank's economists, bibliometric, prosopography, and topic modeling).
