A History of the Founding and Early Years of AFEE

During the late 1950s, institutionalists started organizing themselves amid the decline of institutional economics, leading to the 1965 founding of the Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE). We analyze the history of the movement to found AFEE and its early years. We use archival evidence, much of it previously unpublished, to provide a detailed history of these early years. We also present an account of AFEE that highlights the role of different interpretations of institutional economics in building the association. In addition, we provide a brief history of the early years of the Journal of Economic Issues (JEI).

An Institutionalist Vision of a Good Economy

The current crisis in global capitalism and the wide-ranging problems that have been caused by the promulgation of a regime of deregulation of goods, services, and labor markets across the globe, but especially in the United States over the past thirty years, may indeed prove to be the end of the neoliberal era. Thus it is an opportune time to reconsider how the global economy could be restructured along more equitable and progressive lines. This paper will present the institutionalist vision of just such a good economy, building on the ideas of Veblen, Ayres, Commons, and Galbraith. The institutionalist vision of a good economy is productive but also non-invidious, democratic but also pragmatic, egalitarian but also efficient. The good economy must therefore be embedded in key social institutions, and be regulated appropriately to preserve the most beneficial social and cultural institutions. The good economy must, furthermore, be a full-employment economy, with jobs available to all who are capable of making productive contributions to their society and to enable those who labor to work in decent conditions. Finally, the good economy must provision all its members with the necessary means of subsistence for them to achieve their human aims.

Clarence E. Ayres and the Socialist Planning Debate

This article argues that two different manifestations of rational behavior can coexist and collide in a relatively homogeneous society. In the Ticuna community of Arara in the Colombian Amazon; on the one hand, the majority of villagers tend to reach relatively lower levels of material wealth, following Polanyi’s idea of the pre-modern man (1968a; 1968b; 1968c), and also Sahlins’ (1972) idea of the original affluent man. On the other hand, community leaders and schoolteachers tend to accumulate material wealth, following Polanyi’s idea of modern-man (1968a; 1968b). These behavioral frameworks help explain the limited success of certain types of development programs in the Ticuna community.     

印尼经济发展总体规划解读

Institutionalism,Critical Theory,and the Administered Society

Paul Krugman recently suggested that John Maynard Keynes helped economists study and resolve mass unemployment at a time when few of them could understand the problem and institutionalists seemed unable to articulate a clear policy strategy. This article responds by outlining John R. Commons' case for full employment with liberty and his three-part strategy (addressing money, people and politics) for curing joblessness while saving capitalism. Commons' argument and recommendations offer insights that extend beyond Keynesian economics in important ways, and his contributions have special relevance today in light of the recent global financial crisis and still ongoing Great Recession.

经济虚拟化、金融危机与政府规制

货币的虚拟化打开了经济虚拟化的大门,自由放任主义和政府失灵是经济虚拟化的重要推动力。经济全球化的本质是虚拟经济的全球化,美国的债务经济循环将全球经济紧紧地捆绑在一起,并为虚拟经济的发展不断注入流动性。金融危机产生的根源在于经济的过度虚拟化,导致整个金融系统的风险不断累积和放大,最终导致金融系统的崩溃。保持虚拟经济与实体经济的适当比例,加快金融体系的建设和完善,合理界定市场与政府的边界,是我们面临的重要任务。     

The Relationship Between Inclusive Institutions,Proximate Causes of Growth,and Economic Growth: A Case Study of the Four Mandate Territories of Lebanon,Palestine, Syria,and Trans-Jordan, 1918-1946/1948

I present a comparative historical study of the economic growth in the four mandate territories of Lebanon, Palestine, Syria, and Trans-Jordan. In all four areas, the ruling western powers, Britain and France, attempted to introduce inclusive economic institutions with a strong emphasis on private property. These institutions advanced economic growth in all four regions, but there were differences in their growth rates. For example, Palestine had the best growth, even though the British were more successful in instituting inclusive institutions in Trans-Jordan. In Palestine, there was also a huge increase in the proximate causes of growth that did not happen in Trans-Jordan. The paper suggests a refined formulation of the relationship between inclusive institutions, proximate causes of growth, and economic growth. Inclusive institutions will generate economic growth, but at a slower pace. If a country is able to enhance its proximate causes of growth, then the joint effect of the proximate causes of growth and inclusive institutions will lead to much quicker growth.     

京津冀区域经济一体化的发展前景与战略构想

在中国三大经济圈中,京津冀都市圈所处的环渤海城市群发展速度相对落后于长三角城市群和珠三角城市群。之所以出现“南快北慢”的状况,与这一区域内经济联系较弱有着直接的关系。无论从适应国家经济重心战略调整的需要来看,还是从区域生态环境、经济发展、社会稳定等考虑,加强京津冀区域经济发展势在必行。     

State Development Planning: Did it Create an East Asian Miracle?

East Asian countries have recorded large increases in per capita GDP over the last fifty years. Some observers have referred to this growth as an “East Asian Miracle.” One popular explanation attributes the rapid growth to state led industrial development planning. This paper critically assesses the arguments surrounding state development planning and East Asia’s growth. Whether the state can acquire the knowledge necessary to calculate which industries it should promote and how state development planning can deal with political incentive problems faced by planners are both examined. When we look at the development record of East Asian countries we find that to the extent development planning did exist, it could not calculate which industries would promote development, so it instead promoted industrialization. We also find that what rapid growth in living standards did occur can be better explained by free markets than state planning because, as measured in economic freedom indexes, these countries were some of the most free market in the world.JEL classification: O200, O170, O530, B530, P170     

基于自回归移动平均模型的国际金融危机对四川经济的影响分析研究

2008年发生的美国次贷危机引发的全球金融危机给世界各国的经济特别是金融行业带来了强烈的冲击.金融危机主要通过投资渠道、贸易渠道、汇率渠道以及预期渠道直接或间接影响四川经济.为估算这种影响,文章基于自回归移动平均模型(ARIMA)的特殊性,选取了2000～2008年的样本数据,运用时间序列建模技术,从直接影响和间接影响两个维度7项指标所描述的经济发展指标上,详尽分析研究了国际金融危机对四川经济的影响.文章克服了实际工作部门在测算该种影响时,不考虑经济序列长期发展趋势的不足,并就其对我国经济和四川经济发展的影响作了探讨,在此基础上,提出四川省市应对经济危机的措施,以供相关部门决策时参考.     

全球金融危机对日本科技发展的影响

如果全球经济呈L形衰退,使日本经济出现长期负增长或严重低迷,则必将对日本依靠科技创新形成新的增长点的战略,造成不利影响。无论政府还是企业的科技投入,都将向重点方向和领域倾斜与集中,而未被列入重点领域、重点计划的研究开发,更加难以得到支持。长此以往,必将殃及创新人才的培养与创新知识的积累,许多创新萌芽将可能被扼杀于襁褓之中。     

The Moral Hazard Play: A Review of The Chastening: Inside the Crisis that Rocked the Global Financial System and Humbled the IMF

We estimate the influence of trade preferences granted by Argentina on the origin of its imports. We try to identify if changes in Argentina's trade policy toward a set of countries had a differential effect, depending on whether goods were already traded, or on the contrary, if tariff changes affected mostly imports of new goods. We distinguish between the effects of changing tariffs and changing trade preferences. The econometric evidence shows that the effect of changes in tariff preferences on the probability of Argentina importing from other Asociación Latinoamericana de Integración (ALADI) members has been rather small, with most of the effect being explained by changes in tariff rates levied on imports from these countries. This result is stronger in the case of imports from Brazil.
