Complexity, causality, and expectations
The article engages in the well-known debate about the need to ground macroeconomics in a program of microfoundations. In this debate, new classical and new Keynesian macroeconomists argue for an eliminative program of microfoundations (which reduces macroeconomics completely to general equilibrium theory), agent-based macroeconomists for a program of “genuine” microfoundations (which models the macroeconomy as a complex system), and macroeconome…
Some problems of causal inference in agent-based macroeconomics
Guerini and Moneta (2017) have developed a sophisticated method of providing empirical evidence in support of the relations of causal dependence that macroeconomists engaging in agent-based modelling believe obtain in the target system of their models. The paper presents three problems that get in the way of successful applications of this method: problems that have to do with the potential chaos of the target system, the non-measurability of var…
Subatomic Particles, Epistemic Stances, and Kantian Antinomies
In Scientific Ontology , Chakravartty diagnoses a “dramatic conflict” between empiricism and metaphysics and aims to overcome that conflict by opting for a modern-day variant of Pyrrhonism, i.e. by appreciating the equal strength ( isostheneia ) of the arguments for and against the empiricist and metaphysical positions, and by achieving tranquility ( ataraxia ) by suspending judgment or remaining speechless in the face of that isostheneia . In th…
Marx on alienation and employee capital participation
The paper aims to show that the theory of alienated labour that Marx develops in his early and still endorses in his mature work is an application of Hegelian dialectics, that the conditions of production in which the alienation of labour is sublated do not coincide with the conditions of production that Marx’s political writings say should characterise post-capitalist societies (i.e. do not coincide with central planning), and that in order for …
