Towards a “Text as Data” Approach in the History of Economics: An Application to Adam Smith’s Classics
Quantitative techniques have received increasing attention in the history and methodology of economics. Nonetheless, a “text as data” approach has mostly been overlooked and its applicability to the history of economics remains to be examined. To understand what we gain from such quantitative techniques in relation to existing historical analyses, we apply some “text as data” techniques to Adam Smith’s The Theory of Moral Sentiments and The Wealt…

Eugenics and the Interwar Approach to Inventors and Invention
Seabury Gilfillan was an American sociologist who is considered a seminal but neglected author in invention studies. Gilfillan published his first important contributions to the sociology of invention at the end of the 1920s, and he corresponded with Schumpeter in the 1930s. Comparisons between the two authors show that they are closer than we might expect. Gilfillan rejected the hero and genius accounts of inventors and supported instead an anon…

Robert Solow's Non-Walrasian Conception of Economics
The neoclassical synthesis has been defined as a bridge between Keynes-ian theory and Walrasian general equilibrium theory. The aim of this article is to show that founders of the neoclassical synthesis were not homogenous in their appraisal of the importance of Walrasian theory. To do so, we focus on Robert Solow's contributions as a case study and examine the history of his lifelong criticism of what he called "axiomatics." According to Solow, …
The Old Economics of Science and the Nonlinear Model of Innovation
The linear model of innovation, which assumes a unidirectional and non-simultaneous relationship between the two realms of science and technology, is still a debated framework. The aims of this article are to show—in contrast with the received view—that economists of science in the 1950s and 1960s did not develop or support the linear model, to examine the theoretical and empirical foundations of their representation of the links between science …
Creating Increasing Returns: The Genesis of Arrow's "Learning by Doing" Article
Kenneth J. Arrow's 1962 article "The Economic Implications of Learning by Doing" is considered a seminal contribution to endogenous growth theory. However, no history of its origins has been written yet. We aim to fill this gap by studying the genesis of Arrow's article, showing how its context of discovery conditioned its form, the concepts Arrow used and the way he defined them, and the modeling strategy he employed. We first show that Arrow's …
