| Abstract: | Cliometrics is the application of economic theory and quantitative methods to the study of economic history. The methodology rose to favor in economics departments in the 1960s. It grew to dominate the discipline over the next two decades, culminating in the awarding of the 1993 Nobel Prize in economics to two of its pioneers, Robert Fogel and Douglass North. Cliometrics has always had its share of critics, and some have blamed it for the diminished role that economic history had in economics programs in the 21st century. |
| Keywords: | Cliometrics, economic history, new economic history, multidisciplinary, methodology, quantitative. |

| Abstract: | This paper examines the intellectual contributions of Professor W. M. (‘Max’) Corden to Economics. We focus on three main fields: trade theory and practice, especially his pioneering work on the theory of effective protection; open economy macroeconomics, including exchange rate policy, the international monetary system, Dutch Disease, and economic crises; and Australian economic policy. We emphasize Max’s motivation for working on these topics, as he sought to understand real-world economic issues and challenges, and to employ economic theory and expositional clarity in search of policy reform. We also draw attention to his personal life history, and how it has shaped his thinking on major economic and political questions. |

| Abstract: | This paper is about the Department of Economics at the University of Chicago, between 1947 and 1982. The paper has the form of a conversation between the two authors and covers issues such as the existence of a “Chicago School,” the Department’s governance, the personalities of some well-known members such as Frank Knight, Milton Friedman, and Robert Mundell, teaching, and the “Chicago boys.” It also deals with the relation between members of the Department and those of other leading Schools. |

| Abstract: | I met Bob Mundell in Washington in 1982, when I was already working at the International Monetary Fund, at a conference on the international monetary system. My first impression was the absolute confidence with which he expressed his views. When one of the participants in his panel claimed that the data did not confirm his views, he responded: "If the data do not confirm my views, then the data are wrong." I had the chance to follow his life and career, and to participate in the conferences he organized and chaired in the last two decades in his beloved Palazzo Mundell in Tuscany where he lived. Mundell pioneered the theory that serves as the basis for the design and implementation of economic policies in open economies. He extended the Keynesian closed-economy model, which focused on the relationship between interest rates and output, to open economies by introducing a third dimension: the exchange rate and capital mobility. It is hard to appreciate today his pathbreaking thinking on economic issues that had yet to emerge, at a time when the world was dominated by fixed exchange rates and capital controls. His research formed the foundation of international macroeconomics. In awarding him the 1999 Nobel prize in economics, the Swedish Academy of Sciences notes that: " His contribution to monetary theory and optimum currency areas remains outstanding and has inspired generations of researchers. Mundell chose the problems he analyzed with almost prophetic accuracy, predicting the future course of the international monetary system and international capital markets". |

| Abstract: | This paper considers and assesses the concept of social externalities through human interdependence, in relation to the economic analysis of externalities in the tradition of Pigou and Arrow, including the analysis of the commons. It argues that there are limits to economic analysis. Our proposal is to enlarge the perspective and start thinking about a broader framework in which any pattern of influence of an agent or a group of agents over a third party, which is not mediated by any economic, social, or psychological mechanism guaranteeing the alignment of the marginal net private benefit with marginal net social benefit, can be attached the “externality” label and be scrutinized for the likely negative consequences that result from the divergence. These consequences may be significant given the many interactions between the social and economic realms, and the scope for spillovers and feedback loops to emerge. The paper also establishes a tentative and probably incomplete list of possible internalizing mechanisms for externalities under this broader framework, which includes: pricing and monetary incentives; altruism and solidarity; moral norms; reciprocity and mutual monitoring; centralized cooperative decision-making; and merger. There are clear reasons why the pricing mechanism is not appropriate in some cases. A more difficult question to answer is what factors determine which of the mechanisms is the appropriate one to rely on in a given sphere of relations and activities. The object of the paper is to encourage research and contributions from all the relevant disciplines of social sciences on the pervasive human interdependence that the notion of social externalities tries to capture. |

| Abstract: | Gary Becker wrote what may be the first economic analysis of conscription. Less than a decade later, economists played a key role in an important public policy debate during the Vietnam War, which eventually led to abolishment of the military draft. Becker had connections to many of those economists who studied the economics of conscription, and his paper foreshadowed many of the ideas in that literature. Despite this, none cited his paper on conscription. We discuss this history and speculate on this puzzle. |

| Abstract: | This article proposes an archaeology of the concept of ‘infrastructure’, focusing specifically on a period ranging from 1842 until 1951, before the term entered the English language from French. In doing so, it contributes to an ongoing discussion on ‘What does infrastructure really mean?’ by deconstructing the omnipresent concept of ‘infrastructure’ as an expression of modernity that has crystallised a sociotechnical imaginary: a relation between technology, space and power. Indeed, our understanding of its etymological, epistemological and intellectual origins is patchy, based on repeated chronological mistakes and conceptual misunderstandings. To put it bluntly: we do not know how the word came to be. By unearthing the origins of ‘infrastructure’, this article aims to contribute to scholarly debates on the definition(s) of infrastructure in social sciences, urban studies, science and technology studies and infrastructure studies. It also wishes to contribute to ongoing debates taking place in the public sphere regarding what should count as ‘infrastructure’. This paper’s findings demonstrate a clear relation to Karl Marx’s ‘historical materialism’; the paper also analyses how the word evolved over a short period of time to become sociotechnical metaphor; finally, the paper demonstrates the emergence of a concept that linked engineering to larger socioeconomic concerns in the 1890s, well before the emergence of ‘infrastructure’ as a key concept of development economics in the 1950s. |

| Abstract: | Under which conditions did Robert Lucas’s microfoundational program come to dominate the field? My article sheds new light on this question. The focus is on why models incorporating rational expectations and market-clearing seduced macroeconomists. My case study is Robert Barro and Herschel Grossman. Drawing on Grossman’s archives, I define a framework for explaining their modeling choices. I show that methodological principles, tractability constraints, and research strategies explained why, at the end of the 1970s, Barro and Grossman preferred equilibrium over disequilibrium macroeconomics. |

| Abstract: | The paper critically examines the human capital concept that was developed in the realm of labour economics and economic growth and development, and that recently became an important way of thinking in education policy. The definition and the historical origins of the concept are provided, and the specific issues pertaining to human capital are discussed – measurement of human capital, human capital externalities, macroeconomic effects of human capital, rates of returns to education, institutional prerequisites and enablers of human capital accumulation. The critical analysis of the concept’s shortcomings and possible extensions then follows. We consider alternative conceptualizations of the human capital that are present in economics and other social sciences noting that these alternative views may have different (and frequently opposing) implications for policy. We indicate multiple rationales and logics of education and human capital investment, uncertain outcomes of the accumulation process, multiple dimensions and components of the human capital, the importance of the broader socio-economic context that shapes education investment and policy and sets prerequisites for policy, the complexities of the human capital formation process at policy level (competing political interests, but also values, philosophies and interpretations of policy problems), as well as at individual level (objective constraints to learning, varying learning outcomes and paths of human capital formation). It is also stressed that analysis of human capital would necessarily consider the costs and negative effects of particular forms of human capital, as well as capital depreciation issues. The paper forms basis for the formulation of alternative frameworks of human capital accumulation and education policy. |

| Abstract: | This paper attempts to reconcile the goals of competition and equality within antitrust, and in doing so, suggests that this task can be seen to correspond to the efforts that John Rawls made to reconcile liberalism and equality within his principles of justice. Applying a Rawlsian analysis to this problem, I propose the adoption of inclusivity as a secondary objective within competition law (not as an additional primary objective, as for example under a public interest test), and suggest that this approach might therefore be labelled Rawlsian Antitrust. In locating this approach amongst the existing established schools of thought, I emphasise both its economic basis, and the clarity of its values, and how the reconciliation between those might be operationalised. I identify the existence of both pro-enforcement and more cautious factions within this approach. However, I suggest that identifying the common ground between them might form the basis for enabling competition policy to contribute to the fight for greater inclusivity, arguably the great challenge of our time, which was first stirred, and then made urgent by successive crisis that have shaken our world, and which now threaten to burn down the technocratic antitrust chateau. |

| Abstract: | This paper provides a critical review of the literature on choosing social discount rates (SDRs) for public cost-benefit analysis. We discuss two dominant approaches, the first based on market prices, and the second based on intertemporal ethics. While both methods have attractive features, neither is immune to criticism. The market-based approach is not entirely persuasive even if markets are perfect, and faces further headwinds once the implications of market imperfections are recognised. By contrast, the ‘ethical’ approach – which relates SDRs to marginal rates of substitution implicit in a single planner's intertemporal welfare function – does not rely exclusively on markets, but raises difficult questions about what that welfare function should be. There is considerable disagreement on this matter, which translates into enormous variation in the evaluation of long-run payoffs. We discuss the origins of these disagreements, and suggest that they are difficult to resolve unequivocally. This leads us to propose a third approach that recognises the immutable nature of some normative disagreements, and proposes methods for aggregating diverse theories of intertemporal social welfare. We illustrate the application of these methods to social discounting, and suggest that they may help us to move beyond long-standing debates that have bedevilled this field. |

It rehabilitates Metz’s somewhat forgotten milestone in the quantitative history literature on economic cycles. For me, it represents an indispensable standard work for anyone who wants to work in this field. |

| Abstract: | Does Germany follow a mercantilist policy? And to what extent is such a strategy possible in the age of globalization? My hypothesis that German economic policy is in fact based on a new form of mercantilism that I propose to call neo-mercantilism, which is based on new instruments different from those of traditional mercantilism. The German strategy is not about introducing customs barriers or devaluating its currency. It is about lowering real wages and diminishing payroll taxes to reduce labor cost and about investing in research to maintain its technological lead. Neo-mercantilism does not reject free trade: it adapts itself to maintain Germany's economic leading position. |
| Abstract: | L'Allemagne mène-t-elle une politique économique mercantiliste ? Et dans quelle mesure une telle stratégie est-elle possible à l'heure de la mondialisation ? Notre hypothèse est que la politique économique allemande repose en réalité sur une nouvelle forme de mercantilisme que nous proposons d'appeler néo-mercantilisme, qui repose sur des instruments nouveaux différents de ceux du mercantilisme traditionnel. La stratégie allemande consiste non pas à dresser des barrières douanières ou à dévaluer sa monnaie, mais à faire baisser les salaires réels et à baisser les charges sociales pour réduire le coût du travail et à investir dans la recherche pour maintenir son avance technologique. Le néomercantilisme ne rejette pas le libre-échange : il s'y adapte pour maintenir la position économique allemande. |

| Abstract: | Can a group be an orthodox rational agent? This requires the group's aggregate preferences to follow expected utility (static rationality) and to evolve by Bayesian updating (dynamic rationality). Group rationality is possible, but the only preference aggregation rules which achieve it (and are minimally Paretian and continuous) are the linear-geometric rules, which combine individual values linearly and combine individual beliefs geometrically. Linear-geometric preference aggregation contrasts with classic linear-linear preference aggregation, which combines both values and beliefs linearly, but achieves only static rationality. Our characterisation of linear-geometric preference aggregation has two corollaries: a characterisation of linear aggregation of values (Harsanyi's Theorem) and a characterisation of geometric aggregation of beliefs. |

| Abstract: | La revolución de las expectativas racionales se atribuye principalmente a Robert Lucas Jr. quien desarrolla sus trabajos desde principio de los 1970s sobre el trabajo seminal de Muth de 1960s. Sin embargo, al leer los escritos de Morgenstern muchas de las ideas contenidas en sus escritos captan con la misma penetración la esencia de las expectativas racionales. Inmerso en el debate de su época sobre las condiciones necesarias y suficientes para el equilibrio general y mezclando ejemplos que él considera “triviales” con sutilezas filosóficas y nociones de lógica, amalgama la idea de que, bajo incertidumbre, existen pronósticos imperfectos en base a los cuales se crean las expectativas. Incorporando conocimientos los individuos se acercan a las predicciones de la teoría, coincidiendo el núcleo de su pensamiento con la esencia de las expectativas racionales. Sin embargo, Morgenstern queda en el margen de la corriente del pensamiento económico. En este ensayo se intenta volver a poner en escena esas ideas, creadas en el entorno del sombrío sendero que lleva a Morgenstern desde la vida que vivió hasta las ideas que creó, analizando los puntos de contacto con el concepto de racionalidad en Muth y la formación de las expectativas en Lucas y Sargent. |
