   Abstract: In a 1932 policy paper, the Dutch economist Jan Tinbergen
   suggested that there could be two stable equilibria in a model with two
   firms acting in two sectors, with one of the equilibria having more
   production and employment. Arguing on the basis of a diagram that firms
   could not get out of the "bad" equilibrium on their own, he suggested that
   this justified government interventions to increase employment. While he
   referred to the general equilibrium systems of Walras and Cassel, he did
   not present a fully worked out model but referred to the unpublished study
   of one J. G. Koopmans. The latter was spurred by Tinbergen's reference to
   publish his ideas on the problem of multiple equilibria. In his three-part
   paper, he underlined that a Walrasian system could not show Tinbergen's
   coordination problem, because there could be no unemployment at an
   equilibrium point in a Walrasian model. The examples he presented, with
   three equilibria, showed that they could not be ordered. After this
   exchange, Tinbergen moved away from Walrasian multiple equilibria, and
   abandoned the general equilibrium approach to economic modeling in favor of
   the macrodynamic approach that was developed at the same time by Ragnar
   Frisch and Michal Kalecki.

(University
   of Western Ontario)
   Abstract: Peter Howitt is best known for his contributions to growth
   theory, but his work in short-run economics, which began with his Ph.D
   thesis and still continues, is important and deserves attention. It lies
   firmly in the Keynesian macro-disequilibrium tradition of Clower and
   Leijonhufvud, and for a long time has been overshadowed by New-classical
   and New-Keynesian orthodoxy. However, the development of agent based
   modelling and behavioural economics will perhaps give disequilibrium
   macroeconomics a new lease on life.
   Keywords: equilibrium, disequilibrium, money, New classical Economics,
   New Keynesian Economics, Keynes, Lucas, Howitt, Clower, Leijonhufud, Phelps.

   3. Classicals versus Keynesians: Fifty Distinctions between Two Major
   Schools of Economic Thought
   <http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:arx:papers:2209.02683>
   By: Seyyed Ali Zeytoon Nejad Moosavian
   <http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Seyyed%20Ali%20Zeytoon%20Nejad%20Moosavian>
   Abstract: Macroeconomics essentially discusses macroeconomic phenomena
   from the perspectives of various schools of economic thought, each of which
   takes different views on how macroeconomic agents make decisions and how
   the corresponding markets operate. Therefore, developing a clear,
   comprehensive understanding of how and in what ways these schools of
   economic thought differ is a key and a prerequisite for economics students
   to prosper academically and professionally in the discipline. This becomes
   even more crucial as economics students pursue their studies toward higher
   levels of education and graduate school, during which students are expected
   to attain higher levels of Bloom's taxonomy, including analysis, synthesis,
   evaluation, and creation. Teaching the distinctions and similarities of the
   two major schools of economic thought has never been an easy task to
   undertake in the classroom. Although the reason for such a hardship can be
   multi-fold, one reason has undoubtedly been students' lack of a holistic
   view on how the two mainstream economic schools of thought differ. There is
   strong evidence that students make smoother transition to higher levels of
   education after building up such groundwork, on which they can build
   further later on (e.g. Didia and Hasnat, 1998; Marcal and Roberts, 2001;
   Islam, et al., 2008; Green, et al., 2009; White, 2016). The paper starts
   with a visual spectrum of various schools of economic thought, and then
   narrows down the scope to the classical and Keynesian schools, i.e. the
   backbone of modern macroeconomics. Afterwards, a holistic table contrasts
   the two schools in terms of 50 aspects. Not only does this table help
   economics students enhance their comprehension, retention, and
   critical-thinking capability, it also benefits macroeconomic instructors to

   Abstract: In this essay, I investigate Pareto’s understanding of
   classical political economy as a science, with particular emphasis on the
   themes of surplus, value and the cost of production. For those themes, this
   study reveals that Pareto considered substantive economic knowledge to have
   developed asymptotically. In reaching that view, and in emphasising the
   substantive continuity in the progress of economics from classical
   political economy to the economics of the Lausanne school, I attempt to
   clarify why Francesco Ferrara’s critical assessment of, and positive
   contribution to, classical political economy was important for Pareto’s
   appreciation of the classical approach.

   5. What analytical framework for Sovereign Money? Some insight from the

   Abstract: The 2007-2008 Global Financial Crisis has brought renewed
   interest in the 100% Money reform idea of the 1930s', the essence of which
   was to require 100% reserves on transaction deposits so as separate money
   issuance from bank loans. A modern version of this idea, the Sovereign
   Money proposal, has been much discussed in recent years. Some heterodox
   economists have harshly criticized Sovereign Money advocates for lacking a
   clear analytical framework, as well as for disregarding "established"
   literature on such topics as the causality relationship between money and
   prices, the accommodation of business needs, financial instability, or the
   seigniorage privilege. The literature on 100% Money, however, appears to
   have been largely overlooked by both sides of the debate-even though, as
   this article shows, it could have brought valuable theoretical insight to
   the discussion. Building upon the arguments of the 100% Money writers, this
   paper concludes that many of the criticisms addressed to the Sovereign
   Money proposal are either inconclusive or misplaced.

   Abstract: A department’s yearly publication count in a journal increases
   when a member of the department joins the journal’s editorial board. The
   common interpretation of this fact—that during the board member’s tenure,
   departmental colleagues publish more—is inaccurate. In a sample of 106
   economics journals covering 1990-2011, we estimate that of the observed
   increase in the publication count, 73 per cent is (co-)authored by board
   members themselves. Their single-authored papers in a journal receive
   significantly less citations if they are on that journal’s editorial board.
   We find no evidence that they discover attractive papers among their
   colleagues that otherwise wouldn’t be published.

   7. Teaching Economics and Ethics

(Department
   of Economics Marquette University)
   Abstract: As an interdisciplinary field, economics and ethics has been
   taught in many different ways, including in my experience teaching the
   course over many years. This paper describes the challenges teaching this
   subject involves and the strategy I ultimately adopted for doing so after
   trying different approaches. This strategy was meant to address the needs
   of a heterogenous collection of students, many of whom had limited
   knowledge of economics and were likely not take many additional courses in
   it. The course was structured around four modules opposed to one another in
   two pairs: (1) Ways economics influences ethics: The market vision (2) Ways
   economics influences ethics: Rationality and efficiency (3) Ways ethics
   influences economics: Moral limits of markets (4) Ways ethics influences
   economics: Taming the market Each module was built around real world
   applications. The course finished with a fifth module in the form of a
   capstone exercise – Rationing health care – that required students rank
   who had a priority for care from four individual cases of varying life
   circumstances drawn from Cookson and Dolan (2000). Students used the views
   they had developed in the first four modules to do this, and then explained
   and discussed both their rankings and the overall rankings that prevailed
   over all students. The course was taught both in person and online and in
   both long and short teaching terms, emphasized student interaction and
   openness to different views of how economics and ethics can be connected,
   and argued for democratic values in pluralist societies.

   Abstract: Recent evidence from citation analysis [Mitra, S., Palmer, M,
   Vuon, V. (2020). Development and interdisciplinarity: A citation analysis.
   World Development, 135, 105076; hereafter MPV] shows that development as a
   field of study hardly interacts with other disciplines – except mainstream
   economics. Moreover, MPV analyze the reported affiliation of each author
   listed in the Web of Science database and find that, in response to growing
   competition in the publishing process, economists tend to publish more in
   development studies journals. In this paper, I apply an alternative
   approach in identifying the disciplinary and paradigmatic background of
   development scholars by matching bibliometric data on articles published in
   World Development with the RePEc author database. The results from this
   analysis suggest a quite different picture regarding the share of
   economists that publish in the field’s flagship journal: in contrast to
   MPV, I report a significantly higher share of scholars with an economics
   research background. Considering these findings, the paper further explores
   non-trivial differences of the 'economics silo' (i.e. economists that
   publish research related to development) in World Development vis-Ã -vis
   research by scholars from other social science disciplines via extensive
   citation analysis. The overall finding of this analysis is that the lack of
   interdisciplinarity (as observed by MPV) is largely due to economists that
   publish their work in the journal.

   9. The Agenda for Evolutionary Economics: Results, Dead Ends, and
   Challenges Ahead. <http://econpapers.repec.org/RePEc:ssa:lemwps:2022/24>
   By: Giovanni Dosi
   <http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Giovanni%20Dosi>
   Abstract: This essay outlines the evolutionary research agenda
   thoroughly explored in its microeconomic aspects in the forthcoming Manual,
   The Foundations of Complex Evolving Economies. Part One: Innovation,
   Organization and Industrial Dynamics, Oxford University Press, 2023. But is
   there an ''evolutionary paradigm'', in the first place? And if yes, what is
   it? In brief, in such a paradigm, the economy is interpreted as a complex
   evolving system. In that, a wide set of techno-economic phenomena are
   understood as emergent properties - outcomes of far-from-equilibrium
   interactions among heterogeneous agents - characterized by endogenous
   preferences, most often ''boundedly rational'' - but always capable of
   learning, adapting, and innovating with respect to their understandings of
   the world in which they operate, the technologies they master, their
   organizational forms, and their behavioral repertoires. All that involves
   some crucial properties. First, if the entities are genuinely evolving, new
   elements, new technologies, new organizational forms, new patterns of
   interaction are bound to appear along the course of evolution. Second,
   evolution is a multi-scale phenomenon. This is a fundamental property of
   biological evolution, and even more so is the evolution of economies and
   whole societies, nested in different institutions - possibly evolving at
   different paces, and coupled with technological and organizational changes.
   Third, but relatedly, economies are complex interactive systems.
   Interaction generally implies emergence. There is no isomorphism between
   macroscopic phenomena, say, the dynamics of industries, markets, and whole
   economies, on the one hand, and the behaviours of individual entities, on
   the other. More is different (Anderson, 1972). Fourth, complexity is
   intimately linked with non-linearities, and thus multiple possible
   dynamical paths. History counts. And this, even more so, in socio-economic
   environments characterized by knowledge accumulation. Knowledge builds upon
   itself, thus involving what economists in their jargon call dynamic
   increasing returns. As summarized in this essays Part One of the Manual
   addresses in the foregoing perspective, (i) Innovation and technological
   evolution; (ii) The theory of the firm in evolving environments; (iii) The
   formalization of learning processes; (iv) the theory of production; (v)
   consumption patterns; (vi) economic interactions and the working of
   markets; and, (vii) The ensuing structures and evolution of industries.
   Further in this essay we sketch some fundamental topics of the
   macroeconomic and developmental research ahead, which we mean to explore in
   Part Two of the Manual, in progress. At the same time the reader is warned
   against multiple risks of ''normalization'' by which 'evolution' is reduced
   to sheer 'innovation', and the latter is handled by standard econometric
   instruments, which are inevitably bound to largely neglect, among other
   features, the emergence of novelty, coupled dynamics, profound
   heterogeneities at all levels, and various forms of complementarities.
   Keywords: Economic evolution; complex systems; technological and
   organizational innovation; heterogeneity; market processes; bounded
   rationality; organizational capabilities; routines and heuristics; theory
   of production; industrial structures.

   Abstract: Forecasting is always difficult, especially the future.
   Economists have sought to develop a scientific infrastructure designed to
   improve the productive performance and living standards of consumers and
   citizens. However, this body of knowledge hardly allows for the development
   of effective instruments to fulfill these objectives. Contrary to
   Fukuyama's idea of the "end of history", Lester Thurow has presented an
   outline of the future evolution of a capitalism whose strength as well as
   precariousness he measures. His analysis highlights the inadequacies of
   capitalism, the absence of a competing economic system, the emergence of a
   multipolar world without a hegemonic power, the development of regional
   blocs, the shortcomings of the market, the development of inequalities, the
   rise of the grey matter industry, the threat of demographics, the crisis of
   work, and economic and political instability. Several elements of analysis
   remain relevant, but three essential elements of the political-economic
   situation in the world today are unfortunately absent, such as the
   permanence of military warfare, especially in developed countries, and the
   conflict of world leadership between the United States and China. Finally,
   the issue of global warming and pollution is never mentioned.
   Abstract: Il est toujours difficile de prévoir, surtout l'avenir. Les
   économistes ont cherché à élaborer une infrastructure scientifique destinée
   à améliorer les performances productives et le niveau de vie des
   consommateurs et citoyens. Cependant, l'ensemble de ces connaissances ne
   permettent guère de développer des instruments efficaces pour remplir ces
   objectifs. En contestation de l'idée de Fukuyama sur la « fin de l'histoire
   », Lester Thurow a présenté les grandes lignes des évolutions à venir d'un
   capitalisme dont il mesure aussi bien la force que la précarité. Son
   analyse met en lumière les insuffisances du capitalisme, l'absence d'un
   système économique concurrent, l'apparition d'un monde multipolaire sans
   puissance hégémonique, le développement des blocs régionaux, les défauts du
   marché, le développement des inégalités, l'essor de l'industrie de la
   matière grise, la menace de la démographie, la crise du travail, et
   l'instabilité économique et politique. Plusieurs éléments d'analyse restent
   d'actualité, mais trois éléments essentiels de la situation
   politico-économique du monde d'aujourd'hui sont malheureusement absents,
   comme la permanence des actions de guerres militaires, notamment dans les
   pays développés, et le conflit de leadership mondial entre les Etats-Unis
   et la Chine. Enfin, la question du réchauffement climatique et de la
   pollution n'est jamais évoquée.

   only narrative elements such as the factors and events have to be
   identified but their semantic relation has to be explained as well. Despite
   this complexity, an effective technique to extract narratives from texts
   can have a great impact on how we view political and economical
   developments. By analyzing narratives, one can get a better understanding
   of how such narratives spread across the media landscape and change our
   world views as a result. In this paper, we take a closer look into a
   recently proposed definition of a collective economic narrative that is
   characterized by containing a cause-effect relation which is used to
   explain a situation for a given world view. For the extraction of such
   collective economic narratives, we propose a novel pipeline that improves
   the RELATIO-method for statement detection. By filtering the corpus for
   causal articles and connecting statements by detecting causality between
   them, our augmented RELATIO approach adapts well to identify more complex
   narratives following our definition. Our approach also improves the
   consistency of the RELATIO-method by augmenting it with additional pre- and
   post-processing steps that enhance the statement detection by the means of
   Coreference Resolution and automatically filters out unwanted noise in the
   form of uninterpretable statements. We illustrate the performance of this
   new pipeline in detecting collective economic narratives by analyzing a
   Financial Times data set that we filtered for economic and
   inflation-related terms as well as causal indicators.
