   Abstract: Based on a global survey of almost 10, 000 academic
   economists, Peter Andre and Armin Falk explore what economists perceive to
   be worthwhile research in their discipline. Finding many economists think
   that economic research should become more policy relevant,
   multidisciplinary, and disruptive, and cover a more diverse range of
   research topics, they suggest that economics and economists would benefit
   from a more inclusive discussion of the direction in which the field is
   travelling.

   Abstract: This article aims to rediscover an author relatively unknown
   to the general public, Slavcho Zagorov, and revive his ideas. Zagorov is a
   Bulgarian economist and statistician whose main works date from 1954 and
   are mainly devoted to the concept of energy flow in the economy and human
   metabolism, explained through the prism of thermodynamics. Criticizing the
   mainstream economic approach to national income in terms of "value", he
   developed a new approach of "national income movement". According to
   Zagorov, national income is "energy movement", which he calculates in terms
   of primary energy sources. He draws conclusions from direct observations on
   the economic development of the Danube countries.

   3. On the Theory of the Pragmatic Public

   Abstract: The discipline of public administration has grappled with
   concepts regarding the public for well over a century. Scholars from public
   choice, public value(s), and publicness have analyzed myriad elements of
   administration related to the public. However, detailed explorations of
   this fundamental term remain relatively sparse, disparate, and
   under-theorized. In this essay, an ontology and intellectual history of the
   public is developed, starting with John Dewey’s classic work The Public and
   its Problems. Dewey’s social-interaction-consequence view of the public,
   referred to here as the pragmatic public is evaluated through multiple
   theories in public administration. Finally, theories of social networks and
   complexity science are unified with the pragmatic public, recentering and
   reinvigorating the theory in the context of network governance.

   Abstract: As economic planners sought to rebuild Europe in the unstable
   postwar period, economic expertise was called upon to help in the drawing
   of national budgets and to inform economic and planning policies. A tool
   that circulated from academia to economic administrations was the
   input-output framework that had been developed by Wassily Leontief since
   the 1930s. As Leontief came into contact with other economists and with the
   goals of economic administrations, his framework was repurposed to give
   answers to the questions of economic planners. Statisticians and economists
   in Western Europe worked to integrate the input-output framework with the
   developing national accounts. Looking at their work with a particular focus
   on investment and development policies, I bring new insights on the role of
   experts, by showing that the input-output model had little impact on the
   actual coordination of economic policies.

   5. On the notion of measurable utility on a connected and separable
   topological space: an order isomorphism theorem

   By: Gianmarco Caldini
   <http://econpapers.repec.org/scripts/search.pf?aus=Gianmarco%20Caldini>
   Abstract: The aim of this article is to define a notion of cardinal
   utility function called measurable utility and to define it on a connected
   and separable subset of a weakly ordered topological space. The definition
   is equivalent to the ones given by Frisch in 1926 and by Shapley in 1975
   and postulates axioms on a set of alternatives that allow both to ordinally
   rank alternatives and to compare their utility differences. After a brief
   review of the philosophy of utilitarianism and the history of utility
   theory, the paper introduces the mathematical framework to represent
   intensity comparisons of utility and proves a list of topological lemmas
   that will be used in the main result. Finally, the article states and
   proves a representation theorem for a measurable utility function defined
   on a connected and separable subset of a weakly ordered topological space
   equipped with another weak order on its cartesian product. Under some
   assumptions on the order relations, the main theorem proves existence and
   uniqueness, up to positive affine transformations, of an order isomorphism
   with the real line.

   Abstract: Recent international trends demonstrate multilevel efforts to
   ‘open' science across its whole ecosystem and lifecycle – from capturing
   research data through to publishing results. In social sciences, the
   publication process is already largely ‘open access' or transitioning
   toward it. However, opening research data raises specific issues and
   concerns for the field. Here, we set out to understand what open research
   data mean for social sciences, and if, why, and how data should be made
   open. We argue that while the ecosystem of actors, infrastructures,
   standards, and principles is starting to take structure in France and
   abroad, there are several barriers to the process of opening data in social
   sciences: (1) a misperception of the motivations for opening data (i.e.,
   focusing on risks of exercising control over researchers and their academic
   freedom and overlooking motivations like data patrimonialization, pooling
   and potential synergies, trust-building, and broader engagement), (2) a
   system based on competition and the dominant process of ‘starification' in
   research, (3) a lack of resources and capabilities that might further
   exacerbate inequalities among genders, communities, institutions, and
   countries, and (4) the potential risks inherent to opening data and the
   specific constraints posed by social science data. Against this backdrop,
   we investigate several ways forward to operationalize not only FAIR
   (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) but also CARE
   (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, Ethics)
   principles for open data in social sciences, before going on to
present M@n@gement's
   new open data policy.
   Abstract: Les tendances internationales œuvrent pour l'ouverture de la
   science sur l'ensemble de son cycle de vie, c'est-à-dire depuis les données
   de la recherche jusqu'à la publication des résultats. En sciences sociales,
   si le processus de publication est déjà largement ouvert ou en voie de
   l'être, la situation est différente concernant l'ouverture des données de
   la recherche qui soulève de nombreuses questions. Afin de participer à ce
   débat, nous cherchons, danscet article, à expliquer ce que signifie
   l'ouverture des données de la recherche en sciences sociales, à comprendre
   ses motivations ainsi que les conditions de son opérationnalisation. En
   effet, alors que l'écosystème d'acteurs, d'infrastructures, de standards et
   de principes directeurs (FAIR et CARE) se structurent en France et à
   l'étranger, plusieurs éléments entravent actuellement le processus
   d'ouverture des données en sciences sociales : 1) une perception erronée
   des motivations pour l'ouverture des données, que sont la
   patrimonialisation, la mise en commun des données et les synergies
   potentielles, l'instauration d'un climat de confiance, un engagement plus
   large, plutôt que le simple exercice d'un contrôle sur la liberté
   académique et les équipes de recherche, 2) un système de concurrence et de
   starification de la recherche, 3) un manque de ressources qui pourrait
   davantage aggraver les inégalités entre les sexes, les communautés, les
   institutions et les pays, et 4) des risques potentiels liés à l'ouverture
   des données et les contraintes spécifiques des sciences sociales. Dans ce
   contexte, nous proposons des solutions pour rendre opérationnels
   l'ouverture des données en sciences sociales, au-delà du simple respect des
   principes FAIR et CARE, avant de présenter la nouvelle politique
   d'ouverture des données de la recherche de M@[log in to unmask]
