Interweaving systems, embedding practices: Multi-system practice constellations in just sustainability transitions
Identifies need to study multi-system practice constellations for just sustainability transitions. • Shows how everyday practices interact with transitions across mobility, housing, and food. • Identifies four interaction modes (contesting, adjusting, reconfiguring, and converging) linking systems and practices under vulnerability. • Uses persona-based vignettes to reveal lived climate and health inequalities in transitions. Urgent climate action…
The global distribution of authorship in economics journals
We assemble a dataset of the universe of economics and business journal articles published since 1980 to assess differences in the levels and trends of the global distribution of authorship in economics journals and citations by country/region, quality of journal, and fields of specialization. We document striking imbalances. While Western and Northern European authors have made substantial gains, the representation of authors based in low-income…
Towards a critical understanding of work in ecological economics: A postwork perspective
In this paper we critically assess common perceptions of work to inform current debates on work in ecological economics. Work is usually conceived as (1) a productive activity (2) that satisfies consumer demand, (3) is conducive to health and well-being, and (4) ensures social inclusion and personal development. Drawing on the burgeoning literature of postwork or critiques of work, we argue that work may rather be understood as a biophysically in…
Six Dimensions of Concentration in Economics: Evidence from a Large-Scale Data Set
Argument This paper argues that the economics discipline is highly concentrated, which may inhibit scientific innovation and change in the future. The argument is based on an empirical investigation of six dimensions of concentration in economics between 1956 and 2016 using a large-scale data set. The results show that North America accounts for nearly half of all articles and three quarters of all citations. Twenty institutions reap a share of 4…
Orthodox Core–Heterodox Periphery? Contrasting Citation Networks of Economics Departments in Vienna
The notion of an "orthodox core-heterodox periphery" structure and the extent of interdisciplinary links have been widely discussed, and partially investigated bibliometrically, within economic discourse. We extend this research by applying tools from social network analysis to citation data of three economics departments located in Vienna, two mainstream and one non-mainstream, to assess their relative citation patterns. We show that both mainst…
