Following Artifacts
The essay discusses the historiographical strategy of “following artifacts” in the history of contemporary economics. Following models as artifacts means (1) to follow the shifts and changes in their form and meaning; (2) to follow the ideas, theories, fictions, and imaginary worlds they provoke; and (3) to investigate the ways in which some of them stabilize and remain as infrastructures of economic reasoning in academic and policy realms, as we…
"A Model to "Make Decisions and Take Actions
From Exploratory Modeling to Technical Expertise
Combining concrete policy-oriented modeling strategies of World War II with what was received as traditional neoclassical theory, in 1956 Robert Solow constructed a simple, clean, and smooth-functioning "design" model that served many different purposes. As a working object, it enabled experimentation with utopian long-run equilibrium growth. As an instrument of measurement, it was applied to time-series data. As a prototype, it was supposed to f…
Der Ökonom als “engineer in the design sense” – Modellierungspraxis und professionelles Selbstverständnis in Robert Solows “Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth”
The Economist as “Engineer in the Design Sense” – Modeling Practices and Professional Identity in Robert Solow's “Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth”. Robert Solow's retrospective description of his way of modeling as “engineering in the design sense” will be used to investigate the modeling practices that led to his 1956 “simple growth model” and involved the image of the economist as a craftsman and a technical expert. Constructing a…
