Download or read book The Methodology of Economics written by Mark Blaug and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-07-31 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an examination of the nature of economic explanation. The opening chapters introduce current thinking in the philosophy of science and review the literature on methodology. Professor Blaug then turns to the troublesome question of the logical status of welfare economics, giving the reader an understanding of the outstanding issues in the methodology of economics. This is followed by a series of case studies of leading economic controversies, which shows how controversies in economics may be illuminated by paying attention to questions of methodology. A final chapter draws the strands together and gives the author's view of what is wrong with modern economics. This book is a revised and updated edition of a classic work on the methodology of economics, in which Professor Blaug develops his discussion of the latest developments in macroeconomics, general equilibrium theory and international trade theory. A new section on the rationality postulate is also added.

This book was released on 2024-05-14 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating account of the development of Durkheim's economic sociology Émile Durkheim's work has traditionally been viewed as a part of sociology removed from economics. Rectifying this perception, Durkheim and the Birth of Economic Sociology is the first book to provide an in-depth look at the contributions made to economic sociology by Durkheim and his followers. Philippe Steiner demonstrates the relevance of economic factors to sociology and shows how the Durkheimians inform today's economic systems. Steiner argues that there are two stages in Durkheim's approach to the economy—a sociological critique of political economy and a sociology of economic knowledge. In his early works, Durkheim critiques economists and their categories, and tries to analyze the division of labor from a social rather than economic perspective. From the mid-1890s onward, Durkheim's preoccupations shifted to questions of religion and the sociology of knowledge. Durkheim's disciples, such as Maurice Halbwachs and François Simiand, synthesized and elaborated on Durkheim's first-stage arguments, while his ideas on religion and the economy were taken up by Marcel Mauss. Steiner indicates that the ways in which the Durkheimians rooted the sociology of economic knowledge in the educational system allows for an invaluable perspective on the role of economics in modern society, similar to the perspective offered by Max Weber's work. Recognizing the power of the Durkheimian approach, Durkheim and the Birth of Economic Sociology assesses the effect of this important thinker and his successors on one of the most active fields in contemporary sociology.

Book excerpt: La science économique est-elle en crise ? L'économie est-elle réellement une science ? Peut-on prévoir les phénomènes économiques ? Pourquoi les lois économiques sont-elles partielles et éphémères ? Quelle est la validité des théories en économie ? Cet ouvrage se propose de cerner l'objet, le statut et les limites des sciences économiques à la lumière d'une étude critique des principales méthodes d'analyse employées par ses théoriciens. Après avoir rappelé les conceptions épistémologiques dans les sciences physiques, l'auteur confronte les sciences économiques à ces théories, avant de présenter une critique des méthodes propres à l'économie. Il apparaît ainsi, qu'en dépit des références constantes des économistes aux épistémologues de la physique, bien des différences opposent leurs domaines d'études respectifs ; les clivages positif/normatif, individualisme méthodologique/holisme, ou l'existence de causalités croisées sont inconnus en physique alors qu'ils sont omniprésents dans la réalité économique. Cette analyse amène l'auteur à considérer l'économie comme une Totalité, qui ne peut être appréhendée que de façon partielle selon le point de vue adopté. Elle permet alors d'expliquer la nécessaire multiplicité des théories, le fait qu'aucune ne parvienne à des résultats universels, la qualité médiocre des prévisions, le caractère provisoire des " lois " économiques... Elle nécessite également de réintroduire dans le champ de l'analyse économique la raison délibérative - cette capacité qu'a l'individu de décider de son action sur la base de jugements de valeur, en dehors de tout calcul - et de redonner ainsi sa place au politique. Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants des facultés de sciences économiques, d'AES, des IEP, et plus largement, à tous ceux qui s'intéressent aux méthodes des sciences sociales.
Download or read book Economics and the Real World written by Andrew M. Kamarck and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a lifetime of distinguished work in economic research and policymaking, Andrew Kamarck details how his profession can more usefully analyze and solve economic problems by changing its basic approach to research. Kamarck contends that most economists today strive for a mathematical precision in their work that neither stems from nor leads to an accurate view of economic reality. He develops elegant critiques of key areas of economic analysis based on appreciation of scientific method and knowledge of the limitations of economic data. Concepts such as employment, market, and money supply must be seen as loose, not exact. Measurement of national income becomes highly problematic when taking into account such factors as the so-called underground economy and currency differences. World trade analysis is based on inconsistent and often inaccurate measurements. Subtle realities of the individual, social, and political worlds render largely ineffective both large-scale macroeconomics models and micro models of the consumer and the firm. Fashionable cost-benefit analysis must be recognized as inherently imprecise. Capital and investment in developing countries tend to be measured in easy but irrelevant ways. Kamarck concludes with a call for economists to involve themselves in data collection, to insist on more accurate and reliable data sources, to do analysis within the context of experience, and to take a realistic, incremental approach to policymaking. Kamarck's concerns are shared by many economists, and his eloquent presentation will be essential reading for his colleagues and for those who make use of economic research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of economic rationality is important for the historical evolution of Economics as a scientific discipline. The common idea about this concept -even between economists- is that it has a unique meaning which is universally accepted. This new volume argues that "economic rationality" is not not a universal concept with one single meaning, and that it in fact has different, if not conflicting, interpretations in the evolution of discourse on economics. In order to achieve this, the book traces the historical evolution of the concept of economic rationality from Adam Smith to the present, taking in thinkers from Mill to Friedman, and encompassing approaches from neoclassical to behavioural economics. The book charts this history in order to reveal important instances of conceptual transformation of the meaning of economic rationality. In doing so, it presents a uniquely detailed study of the historical change of the many faces of the homo oeconomicus .
