The Evolution of Economic Knowledge Through Textbooks
Economics textbooks play a central role in the transmission and stabilization of economic knowledge, yet their long-term evolution remains understudied. This paper examines how economic approaches shape academic textbooks and how they evolve, reproduce, and consolidate over time. Using a newly constructed corpus of approximately 440 economics textbooks published in Great Britain, the United States, France, and Italy during the twentieth century, …
Early attempts to integrate kinetic theory into economics in Italy between the wars
Between the two world wars, a group of Italian mathematicians, statisticians and economists set out to use the tools of statistical mechanics to interpret the Pareto income distribution curve as a probability distribution. Models based on Boltzmann's thermal equilibrium were independently developed to find an economic variable, comparable to the kinetic energy of gas theory, that could explain the heavy tail of the Pareto curve. The various avenu…
Who influences whom? Central bankers and academics in the 2008 crisis
Who influenced whom during the 2008 crisis? Did academic economists shape central bankers’ attitudes towards fiscal policy, or did central bankers impose their agenda? In an attempt to answer these questions, we analyse established attitudes and yearly topics found in speeches by bankers from six central banks and in working papers published by academic economists. Methodologically, both attitudes and topics are reconstructed through textual anal…

Habits and Expectations
Between the two world wars, the theory of general economic equilibrium received notable impetus in Italy from the work of the Paretian School. This consisted of a small, but very active, group of economists, whose best-known members at the time were Luigi Amoroso and Giulio La Volpe. One of the main aspects of the research program carried out by the followers of Pareto was their attempt to dynamize the theory of general economic equilibrium. Thes…
