Forthcoming in History of Economic Ideas Economics imperialism versus multidisciplinarity John B. Davis, Marquette University and University of Amsterdam 2015 STOREP Conference Plenary Lecture Shifting Boundaries: Economics in the Crisis and the Challenge of Interdisciplinarity June 11-13, 2015 Abstract: This paper examines the implications of Chicago School economist Edward Lazear’s 2000 defense of economics imperialism using standard trade theory. It associates that defense with interdisciplinarity or the idea that the sciences are relatively autonomous, but treats this defense as a mask for a more conventional imperialist strategy of promoting Chicago School neoclassicism. Lazear’s argument actually created a dilemma for Chicago regarding how it could espouse interdisciplinarity while operating in a contrary way. I argue that the solution to this dilemma was for neoclassicism to rebuild economics imperialism around neoclassicism as a theory that sees the world in its own image in a performative manner. This strategy, however, suffers from a number of problems, which upon examination ultimately lead us to multidisciplinarity or the idea that the sciences can have transformative effects on one another. This latter conception can be associated with a complexity economics approach as an alternative view of the relation between the sciences. The paper argues that this view provides a basis for pluralism in economics.

  • Coase Theorem” Asserts That in the Absence of Transaction Costs, Parties to an Externality Will Bargain to an Efficient Outcome
    Abstract The \Coase theorem" asserts that in the absence of transaction costs, parties to an externality will bargain to an efficient outcome. It also claims that the resulting level of externality-generating is inde- pendent of initial assignment of rights. It is well-known that Coase's second claim is true if utility is quasi-linear so that the valuation of externalities does not depend on wealth. This paper finds a class of preferences for which Coase's second claim is true when there are wealth effects. It presents a necessary and sufficient condition for Coase's second claim and discusses applications of this result. 1 When Was Coase Right? Ted Bergstrom∗ Economics Department, University of California Santa Barbara [email protected] June 21, 2017 ∗This paper is dedicated to the memory of Richard Cornes and Leo Hurwicz, with whom it was my privilege to share thoughts and puzzlements about this topic. I am grateful to Di Wang of UCSB for useful discussions and for steering me to the Chipman-Tian paper, and also to Guoqiang Tian for helpful discussions. 1 Ronald Coase [7] argued that the amount of damage that one party causes to another typically depends on the actions of both parties. Coase maintained that, regardless of the way that the law assigns liability, if the perpetrator and recipient are able to bargain freely, they are likely to reach an efficient outcome. Coase's paper consists of a series of examples and insightful discussions. He made no claims of a formal theorem based on explicit assumptions. The term \Coase Theorem" seems to originate with George Stigler, who explained Coase's ideas in his textbook The Theory of Price [13], pp 110-114.

  • Jewish Nobel Prize Laureates
    Jewish Nobel Prize Laureates In December 1902, the first Nobel Prize was awarded in Stockholm to Wilhelm Roentgen, the discoverer of X-rays. Alfred Nobel (1833-96), a Swedish industrialist and inventor of dynamite, had bequeathed a $9 million endowment to fund significant cash prizes ($40,000 in 1901, about $1 million today) to those individuals who had made the most important contributions in five domains (Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine, Literature and Peace); the sixth, in "Economic Sciences," was added in 1969. Nobel could hardly have imagined the almost mythic status that would accrue to the laureates. From the start "The Prize" became one of the most sought-after awards in the world, and eventually the yardstick against which other prizes and recognition were to be measured. Certainly the roster of Nobel laureates includes many of the most famous names of the 20th century: Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa, Winston Churchill, Albert Camus, Boris Pasternak, Albert Schweitzer, the Dalai Lama and many others. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to approximately 850 laureates of whom at least 177 of them are/were Jewish although Jews comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population. In the 20th century, Jews, more than any other minority, ethnic or cultural, have been recipients of the Nobel Prize. How to account for Jewish proficiency at winning Nobel’s? It's certainly not because Jews do the judging. All but one of the Nobel’s are awarded by Swedish institutions (the Peace Prize by Norway). The standard answer is that the premium placed on study and scholarship in Jewish culture inclines Jews toward more education, which in turn makes a higher proportion of them "Nobel-eligible" than in the larger population.

Experimental Research on Labor Market Discrimination David Neumark NBER Working Paper No. 22022 February 2016, Revised August 2016 JEL No. J1,J7,K31 ABSTRACT Understanding whether labor market discrimination explains inferior labor market outcomes for many groups has drawn the attention of labor economists for decades – at least since the publication of Gary Becker’s The Economics of Discrimination in 1957. The decades of research on discrimination in labor markets began with a regression-based “decomposition” approach, asking whether raw wage or earnings differences between groups – which might constitute prima facie evidence of discrimination – were in fact attributable to other productivity-related factors.

  • George Stigler As a Dissertation Supervisor*
    Do Great Economists Make Great Teachers? – George Stigler as a Dissertation Supervisor* President Reagan fared much better than the student who came to George complaining that he didn’t deserve the “F” he’d received in George’s course. George agreed but explained that “F” was the lowest grade the administration allowed him to give (Friedland 1993:782). In the eleven years that George Stigler labored at Columbia University he had exactly one dissertation student 1. That number did not radically increase during his subsequent first eleven years at Chicago, though it did in fact at least double 2. Stigler was an economist of great ability, skill and influence, arguably one of the best economic minds of his age. (This is a rather remarkable statement given compeers like Friedman and Samuelson.) Though he clearly thought teaching to be a lesser activity, an adjunct to research, George Stigler took his teaching very seriously (as he did all activities associated with his professional life). His influence on his colleagues in particular and the profession in general is unmistakable. Friends and foes alike (there were few, if any, who knowing George Stigler didn’t fall into one or the other category) conceded his ability to persuade whether in written or verbal form. The puzzle then is why such a formidable figure who contributed so much to economics, wasn’t sought out more as a dissertation advisor by the many graduate students passing through the economics department in Chicago? The answer reveals not only something about George Stigler himself (which might then remain on the purely idiosyncratic level), but also about graduate education in economics and more specifically about student supervision.
