This article describes how women have contributed to the research published in influential general interest journals between 1940 and 2019. The share of women published in these journals follows a U-shaped curve that troughs in the late 1970s—a decline possibly related to an increase in the number of papers being published as well as a rise in coauthoring. By the late 1970s and early 1980s, however, the share of women began increasing again, largely thanks to a rise in mixed-gendered papers. Coauthorship between women, on the other hand, was almost nonexistent until around 2010. A decade-by-decade comparison of men's and women's coauthorship networks suggests female-female networks in the most recent decade in our data (2010–19) roughly resemble male networks from earlier decades (1940–69) and highlight the key role prominent individuals play in network formation. We hypothesize that the recent growth in papers by female teams may signal that research by women collaborating with other women is receiving greater recognition in the field.
本文描述了女性如何为1940年至2019年间发表在有影响力的普通兴趣期刊上的研究做出贡献。在这些期刊上发表论文的女性所占比例呈u型曲线,在20世纪70年代末达到低谷——这种下降可能与发表论文数量的增加以及合著者的增加有关。然而,到了20世纪70年代末和80年代初,女性的比例开始再次上升,这主要归功于男女混合论文的增加。另一方面,直到2010年左右,女性之间的合作几乎不存在。对男性和女性合著者网络的十年一十年的比较表明,在我们的数据中,最近十年(2010-19)的女性-女性网络大致类似于前几十年(1940-69)的男性网络,并突出了杰出个体在网络形成中的关键作用。我们假设,最近女性团队论文的增长可能表明,女性与其他女性合作的研究在该领域得到了更大的认可。

This article considers the institutional and intellectual trajectory of Elinor Ostrom as an interdisciplinary scholar in the postwar period and how her contributions have been reframed after she became the first woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Economics. Two distinct but interrelated historiographical problems influence our perceptions of Ostrom. The first relates to the difficulties women face in dual-career partnerships that often affect their ability to establish independent academic careers and gain fair recognition for contributions to shared research programs. How Ostrom negotiated these challenges highlights the many and often hidden constraints professional women face. The second problem is how to gauge or weight the work of the Ostrom who was a multidisciplinary scholar of the commons with that of the Ostrom who was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize. Exploring her trajectory in public choice over a half century makes apparent the remarkable force a Nobel Prize exerts on post hoc appraisals of a career.
本文考察了战后时期埃莉诺·奥斯特罗姆作为跨学科学者的制度和思想轨迹,以及她成为首位获得诺贝尔经济学奖的女性后,她的贡献是如何被重新定义的。两个截然不同但又相互关联的史学问题影响着我们对奥斯特罗姆的看法。第一个问题与女性在双重职业伙伴关系中面临的困难有关,这种关系往往会影响她们建立独立学术生涯的能力,也会影响她们对共同研究项目的贡献获得公平认可的能力。奥斯特罗姆如何应对这些挑战,凸显了职业女性面临的许多(往往是隐藏的)限制。第二个问题是如何衡量或权衡奥斯特罗姆的工作,奥斯特罗姆是一位多学科的公共学者,而奥斯特罗姆是第一位获得诺贝尔奖的女性。探索她半个多世纪以来在公共选择方面的轨迹,就会清楚地看到诺贝尔奖对职业生涯事后评价的巨大影响力。

This article uses archival sources to reconstruct an alternate history of Milton Friedman's A Theory of the Consumption Function, spotlighting the contributions of his collaborators Margaret Reid, Dorothy Brady, and Rose Friedman. Although Milton Friedman offered public credit to his wife and their two close friends, none received formal recognition or reward for their contribution to the permanent income hypothesis. The article documents this hypothesis as an example in professional economics of the well-known “Matilda effect,” in which women's intellectual contributions are systemically devalued, while arguing it is important to distinguish between formal and informal credit. Further, the article connects the lower status of women's consumption economics to broader shifts in the economics discipline across the twentieth century.
本文利用档案资料重建了米尔顿·弗里德曼的消费函数理论的另一段历史,重点介绍了他的合作者玛格丽特·里德、多萝西·布雷迪和罗斯·弗里德曼。尽管米尔顿·弗里德曼向他的妻子和他们的两个亲密朋友提供了公共信贷,但没有人因他们对永久收入假说的贡献而获得正式认可或奖励。这篇文章将这一假设记录为专业经济学中著名的“玛蒂尔达效应”的一个例子,在该效应中,女性的智力贡献被系统地贬值,同时认为区分正式信贷和非正式信贷很重要。此外,这篇文章将女性消费经济学地位较低与20世纪经济学学科的更广泛转变联系起来。

“Writing History as a Way of Life”: The Life and Work of Margaret Marie Garritsen de Vries “书写历史作为一种生活方式”:玛格丽特·玛丽·加里特森·德弗里斯的生活和工作

The name of Margaret Marie Garritsen de Vries may not be the first that pops into people's minds when thinking about the International Monetary Fund. It is through her work, as the long-standing official Fund historian, that those interested in the Fund's history will travel through. An operational economist during the first part of her career, her turn to history was the avenue through which she could continue it. Leaving a lasting impression on her colleagues, her institution, and the economics profession overall, she reaped recognition of her role in furthering the status of women in the profession, receiving prestigious awards, and through memorial funds set up in her name. The primary aim of this article is to piece together a brief biography. Studying the life of a woman economist turned historian in an international organization brings to light her contribution as an economist working in a predominantly man's field—international monetary and financial issues. This article explores her work as a historian—the main area of work for which she gained recognition—and draws out some of the particularities of women's work in an international organization during this period.
谈到国际货币基金组织(imf),人们可能不会首先想到玛格丽特•玛丽•加里特森•德弗里斯(Margaret Marie Garritsen de Vries)这个名字。作为长期担任基金组织官方历史学家的她,那些对基金组织历史感兴趣的人将通过她的工作得以了解。在她职业生涯的前半段,她是一名运营经济学家,她转向历史是她继续这一职业的途径。她给她的同事、她所在的机构和整个经济学专业留下了深刻的印象,她在提高女性在经济学领域的地位方面所发挥的作用得到了认可,获得了著名的奖项,并通过以她的名字设立了纪念基金。这篇文章的主要目的是拼凑出一个简短的传记。研究一位在国际组织中担任历史学家的女性经济学家的一生,可以揭示出她作为一名在男性主导领域——国际货币和金融问题上工作的经济学家所做出的贡献。本文探讨了她作为一名历史学家的工作——这是她获得认可的主要工作领域——并引出了这一时期国际组织中妇女工作的一些特殊性。

Tracing Barbara Bergmann's Occupational Crowding Hypothesis: A Recent History 追溯Barbara Bergmann的职业拥挤假说:近代史

Barbara Bergmann was well known for many contributions to economics, but she was perhaps most famous for her 1971 occupational crowding hypothesis. The hypothesis was published during a surge of literature on the economics of discrimination, and it temporarily stood among the mainstream neoclassical theories before being relegated primarily to feminist and stratification economics. This article situates the crowding hypothesis among contemporary competing theories on the economics of discrimination and explains why it did not last in the mainstream camp. Despite Bergmann's neoclassical framing, the model's conclusions did not align with models of perfect competition and more closely aligned with heterodox perspectives on group power and conflict.
Barbara Bergmann因对经济学的许多贡献而闻名,但她最著名的可能是1971年的职业拥挤假说。这一假设是在歧视经济学文献激增期间发表的,在主要被归入女权主义和分层经济学之前,它暂时处于主流新古典主义理论之列。本文将拥挤假说置于当代歧视经济学竞争理论中,并解释了它为什么没有在主流阵营中持续存在。尽管Bergmann采用了新古典主义框架,但该模型的结论与完全竞争模型并不一致,而是与关于群体权力和冲突的异端观点更为一致。

Vanity and Luck in Adam Smith's Economic Growth 亚当·斯密经济增长中的虚荣与运气
IF 0.7 2区 历史学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2022-06-10 DOI: 10.1215/00182702-10005732
M. Paganelli
What are the causes of prosperity? In addition to the division of labor, saving, capital accumulation, and good institutions, Adam Smith explains opulence through vanity and luck, two variables we tend to forget today. For Smith, wealth comes from our propensity to better our condition, combined with freedom and the security of the law. The propensity to better our condition is grounded in our vanity and can take the form of both parsimony and prodigality. The laws that guarantee freedom and security seem to be more of an accident of history than deliberate attempts to create prosperity. For Smith, vanity and accidents play a relevant role in economic growth.
繁荣的原因是什么?除了分工、储蓄、资本积累和良好的制度之外,亚当·斯密还通过虚荣和运气来解释富裕,这两个变量我们今天往往会忘记。对史密斯来说,财富来自于我们改善状况的倾向,再加上自由和法律的保障。改善我们状况的倾向是基于我们的虚荣心,可以表现为吝啬和挥霍。保障自由和安全的法律似乎更多的是历史的偶然,而不是蓄意创造繁荣的企图。对史密斯来说,虚荣和事故在经济增长中起着重要作用。

Martha S. Braun: A Neglected Austrian School Economist and Her Theoretical Contribution to Economics 被忽视的奥地利学派经济学家玛莎·布劳恩及其对经济学的理论贡献

During the interwar period, Austrian school economists played a fundamental role in establishing marginalism as a central principle of economics. In those years, the role of Mises in Vienna was especially pivotal in building up economics as a science based on the notion of subjective utility within a free institutional framework. As is well known, Mises was surrounded by several colleagues and students who were members of his intellectual circle (Mises's Kreis). This paper sheds some light on the theoretical contribution of Martha Stephanie (Steffy) Braun (Browne), a neglected Austrian economist in Mises's circle. Embedded in the Viennese cultural milieu of the time and trained as an Austrian school economist, Braun originally helped develop, and sometimes anticipated, some pivotal aspects of the economic theory of the Austrian school. Her focus was mainly on monetary issues, the nature of economic policy, and economic education, especially for women.
在两次世界大战期间,奥地利学派经济学家在确立边缘主义作为经济学核心原则方面发挥了根本性作用。在那些年里,米塞斯在维也纳的作用在将经济学建立为一门基于自由制度框架内主观效用概念的科学方面尤为关键。众所周知,米塞斯身边有几位同事和学生,他们都是他的知识分子圈子(米塞斯的《克雷斯》)的成员。本文对米塞斯圈子里被忽视的奥地利经济学家玛莎·斯蒂芬妮(斯特菲)·布劳恩(布朗)的理论贡献作了一些探讨。布劳恩植根于当时的维也纳文化环境,并接受过奥地利学派经济学家的培训,他最初帮助发展,有时甚至预见到奥地利学派经济理论的一些关键方面。她的重点主要是货币问题、经济政策的性质和经济教育,尤其是对妇女的教育。

Where Did John von Neumann's Mathematical Economics Come From? 约翰·冯·诺依曼的数学经济学从何而来?
IF 0.7 2区 历史学 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2022-06-10 DOI: 10.1215/00182702-10005718

In this article, based on archival material, I show where and how von Neumann's mathematical economics evolved from the realization around 1932 that there existed a formal analogy between economics and games, to the conviction in 1940 that the analogy between homo economicus and homo ludens was more than a formal one. I also show that von Neumann's application of games to economics echoed in nontrivial ways scholarly discussions of a seminar organized in Fuld Hall at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton by von Neumann's historian colleague Edward Mead Earle. In the Earle seminar, an international community of historians and political and social scientists concerned with stability, strategy, and security issues investigated war as a social phenomenon from the perspectives of international relations and military history. In some of their discussions, homo ludens might have appeared as a category that should be taken more seriously in social theory. I argue that the Earle seminar discussions likely helped convince von Neumann in 1940 that the analogy between economics and games that he had found in 1932 was meaningful in a scholarly way to history, political science, and social science. By putting the von Neumann–Earle seminar connection in the backdrop of Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, I briefly bridge some interwar, World War II, and Cold War developments related to von Neumann's influence in economics and social science.
在这篇文章中,基于档案材料,我展示了冯·诺依曼的数学经济学是在哪里以及如何发展的,从1932年左右意识到经济学和游戏之间存在着形式上的类比,到1940年确信经济人和游戏人之间的类比不仅仅是形式上的。我还表明,冯·诺依曼将博弈应用于经济学,以不同寻常的方式呼应了冯·诺伊曼的历史学家同事爱德华·米德·厄尔在普林斯顿高等研究院富尔德大厅组织的研讨会上的学术讨论。在厄尔研讨会上,一个由关注稳定、战略和安全问题的历史学家、政治和社会科学家组成的国际社会从国际关系和军事史的角度调查了战争这一社会现象。在他们的一些讨论中,同源词可能是社会理论中应该更认真对待的一个类别。我认为,厄尔研讨会的讨论可能有助于在1940年说服冯·诺依曼,他在1932年发现的经济学和游戏之间的类比在历史、政治学和社会科学方面具有学术意义。通过将冯·诺依曼-厄尔研讨会的联系放在博弈论和经济行为的背景下,我简要地弥合了与冯·诺伊曼在经济学和社会科学中的影响有关的一些两次世界大战、第二次世界大战和冷战的发展。

By putting the von Neumann–Earle seminar connection in the backdrop of Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, I briefly bridge some interwar, World War II, and Cold War developments related to von Neumann's influence in economics and social science.","PeriodicalId":47043,"journal":{"name":"History of Political Economy","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46557898","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the discipline of economics, as within all academic disciplines, scholars produce texts in which they examine, discuss, and sometimes invoke their intellectual predecessors. As historians of economic thought, we are faced with the task of evaluating the readings put forward by these scholars. In this article, I argue that to adequately evaluate such readings one must understand the inalienable role that a scholar's epistemological framework plays in the conditioning of their reading of historical texts and concepts. To do so, I examine two divergent readings of Adam Smith: Jacob Viner's reading of Smith's invisible hand as God and Paul Samuelson's reading of the same three words as an allocative mechanism that translates an individual's “selfish” actions into the public good or “the best good of all” within a state of perfect competition. These distinct readings from two North American economists with remarkably similar historical, geographical, and academic contexts provide the ideal case for exploring the manner in which readers' differing epistemological commitments shape their different readings of historical concepts and texts. I embed my exploration of these readings and the manner in which they are epistemologically conditioned within the wider discussion around an interpretation put forward by Quentin Skinner. In doing so, I offer an account of the variance in readings of ‘the invisible hand’ and thus contribute toward the contemporary revisionist Smithian literature that explores, criticizes, and revises dominant readings of Smith.
在经济学这门学科中,就像在所有的学科中一样,学者们撰写文本,在这些文本中他们研究、讨论,有时还会引用他们的知识前辈。作为研究经济思想的历史学家,我们面临着评价这些学者所提出的解读的任务。在本文中,我认为,要充分评价这样的阅读,人们必须理解学者的认识论框架在他们对历史文本和概念的阅读中所起的不可分割的作用。为此,我考察了对亚当·斯密的两种不同解读:雅各布·维纳(Jacob Viner)将斯密的“看不见的手”解读为上帝,保罗·萨缪尔森(Paul Samuelson)将同样的三个词解读为一种配置机制,将个人的“自私”行为转化为公共利益或在完全竞争状态下的“最佳利益”。两位有着非常相似的历史、地理和学术背景的北美经济学家的不同阅读,为探索读者不同的认识论承诺如何塑造他们对历史概念和文本的不同阅读提供了理想的案例。我把我对这些阅读材料的探索,以及它们在认识论上受到限制的方式,嵌入到围绕昆汀·斯金纳提出的一种解释的更广泛讨论中。在此过程中,我提供了对“看不见的手”解读的差异的解释,从而为当代修正主义的史密斯文学做出贡献,这些文学探索、批评和修改了对史密斯的主流解读。
