»Öffentliches Schuldenmanagement zwischen Disziplin und Kreativität. Energie-Einspar-Contracting in Deutschland«. The determination of government debt levels is a complex multilayered process subjected to constant reform. In the aftermath of the 2007-8 financial crisis, a twofold reform trend has emerged. On the one hand, the European Commission demands and supports stronger harmonization of national accounts, thereby eliminating loopholes for creative accounting practices such as public-private partnerships or swap deals, which increase government debt levels in many cases. On the other hand, the European Commission demands and supports new forms of ‘creative financing’ such as Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs), a specific form of public-private partnership designed to meet climate change investment goals. Adopting a lens of French Conventionalism, we highlight conflicts within statistic and accounting frameworks and their moral-political trajectories. We derive insights into these broader conflicts by examining the concrete case of national statistics and public sector accounting practices in the German EPC field.
»Öffentliches Schuldenmanagement zwischen Disziplin und Kreativität。能源-灵感-合同在德国«。政府债务水平的确定是一个复杂的多层次过程,需要不断改革。在2007- 08年金融危机之后,出现了一种双重改革趋势。一方面,欧盟委员会要求并支持加强国民账户的协调,从而消除公私合作或互换交易等创造性会计做法的漏洞,这些做法在许多情况下会增加政府债务水平。另一方面,欧盟委员会要求并支持新形式的“创造性融资”,如能源绩效合同(EPCs),这是一种旨在实现气候变化投资目标的公私合作伙伴关系的特殊形式。采用法国传统主义的镜头,我们强调统计和会计框架及其道德-政治轨迹内的冲突。我们通过研究德国EPC领域的国家统计和公共部门会计实践的具体案例来深入了解这些更广泛的冲突。

The current movement of deregulation of professional services in Europe rests on the idea that reducing professional regulation will increase market competition and lead to cut prices for customers. Studying liberalization of the market for legal services, we assume that competition relates much more to quality than to the sole prices. Endorsing the perspective of economics of convention, we show that the profession of lawyer overlaps with a diversity of autonomous and dis-tinct logics that links the quality of services valued by clients with professional practices. These typical logics frame different rational processes characterized by the implementation of distinctive interpretation and reflexivity processes by lawyers. Given that the market-based rationality of maximizing profit sustains only one of the fourth logics embodied within the legal market, this article questions the consequences of professional deregulation on the performance of the market for legal services.

»Das Arbeitsrecht als die Grundlage für die Unternehmensorganisation«. This contribution explores the relation between labor law and organizations in a historical and institutional perspective based on the French case. The adoption of labor law transforms the articulation between commodity exchanges and production activities. Initially, commodity markets were considered as the main test for the capacity of products to find a social utility that conditioned the level of production activities taken in charge by contractors. Labor law has contributed to a renewed conception of production as organized labor, i.e., a specific activity distinct from the other activities of individuals (e.g., family life, leisure). Recruitment and career opportunities become the main test situation for individuals, conditioning their access to occupations and resources for buying the very commodities they make. But, the renewal of corporate governance is undermining this organizational significance of labor law and valuing restructuring, lay-offs, and entrepreneurship, in order to restore

»Gescheiterte Indikatorisierung: Definition, Vergleich und Quantifizierung von Sozialpolitik durch den International Survey of Social Services der Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation in der Zwischenkriegszeit«. Despite social policy being one of the most quantified policy fields today, there is no singular indicator or set of indicators of social policy quality or performance on the global level that is universally accepted and influential, comparable to GDP in the economy. The article analyses and explains the unsuccessful indicatorisation in the ILO’s International Survey of Social Services of the interwar years. During this first elaborate study of social policies worldwide by an international organisation, difficult issues of defining, comparing, and quantifying social policy had to be solved for the first time. Theoretically, a sociology of knowledge approach on indicatorisation is utilised that highlights how social policy was questioned and evaluated. This illustrates the demanding work of comparing including a politicized knowledge production, identifying conditions and hindrances of defining and quantifying the 'social'. It is observed that different interests of participants, epistemic cultures, and practices, as well as bureaucratic procedures resulted in the mere inclusion of a provisional indicator of cost and little quantified data in the final Survey. Empirically, the article relies on an in-depth analysis of historical ILO documents.

In this paper, we document the forecasting performance of estimated basic dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models and compare this to extended versions which consider alternative expectation formation assumptions and financial frictions. We also show how standard model features, such as price and wage rigidities, contribute to forecasting performance. It turns out that neither alternative expectation formation behaviour nor financial frictions can systematically increase the forecasting performance of basic DSGE models. Financial frictions improve forecasts only during periods of financial crises. However, traditional price and wage rigidities systematically help to increase the forecasting performance.

»Die Economics of convention: Von der Praxis der Ökonomie zur Ökonomie der Praktiken«. There would not have been an economics of convention (EC) without the use of the word “convention” in chapter 12 of the “The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money” (1936) by Keynes, and without the book “Convention. A Philosophical Study” (1969), by the philosopher and mathematician David Lewis. But representatives of EC reinterpret the usual reading of those two texts. They extract from the first one the idea of a convention as regulating a professional community (the financial one and the academic one in economics). As for the second one, they privilege the final revision of Lewis’ initial game-theoretic definition, which puts non-observable “beliefs” on a par with observable “actions.” The coherence between both elements can only be produced by the emergence of a “(social) practice.” Therefore a very different practice of economics is promoted by EC (for instance reunifying coordination and reproduction). Following Foucault who studied states as a practice (through the notion of “governmentality”), we study business firms as a practice. Because of the gap between the legal person (corporation whose members are the share-holders) and the economic organization (with all its stake-holders), the firm as a practice needs to be regulated by a convention, in order to make the inequality not unbearable for workers. Otherwise the working of the firm as a dispositive of collective creation would be blocked. We conclude that conventions, practices, and dispositives belong to the same ana-
《传统经济学:Von der Praxis der Ökonomie zur Ökonomie der Praktiken》。如果在凯恩斯的《就业、利息和货币通论》(1936)第12章中没有使用“惯例”这个词,如果没有《惯例》这本书,就不会有惯例经济学(EC)。《哲学研究》(1969),作者是哲学家和数学家大卫·刘易斯。但是欧共体代表重新解释了对这两个案文的通常解读。他们从第一个观点中提取了公约作为规范专业团体(金融团体和经济学学术团体)的观点。至于第二种,他们对刘易斯最初的博弈论定义的最终修订给予了特权,该定义将不可观察到的“信念”与可观察到的“行动”相提并论。这两个要素之间的一致性只能通过“(社会)实践”的出现来产生。因此,欧共体推动了一种非常不同的经济学实践(例如重新统一协调和再生产)。福柯将国家作为一种实践来研究(通过“治理”的概念),我们将商业公司作为一种实践来研究。由于法人(其成员是股东的公司)和经济组织(其所有利益相关者)之间的差距,企业作为一种实践需要由一种公约来规范,以使不平等对工人来说不是无法忍受的。否则,企业作为集体创造的决定者的作用就会受到阻碍。我们的结论是,惯例、实践和否定属于同一范畴

»Modellieren: Denken in Anwendung. Eine Einführung«. In this introduction of the HSR Supplement “Models and Modelling between Digital and Humanities A Multidisciplinary Perspective” we refrain from providing a normative definition of ‘model’ and ‘modelling’ and rather attempt at encircling the current state of the art. In the first instance this chapter provides a very brief overview on modelling as intended as a research strategy applied to scientific fields in the 20th-21st centuries. This overview is followed by a short introduction to modelling in digital humanities, focusing on how modelling has developed into a practical strategy and how it has been theorised. The third part of the introduction presents the scope of the project ”Modelling between digital and humanities: Thinking in practice”. The aim of a project workshop held in 2017, of which this volume collects the proceedings, was to present a multitude of modelling practices from various disciplines together with different theoretical frameworks. The fourth part of this introduction offers an overview of each of the papers in this volume. Finally, a fifth section constitutes the first item of the proceedings as it reproduces an adaptation of the dialogue which was performed to introduce the main topics of the workshop and the scope of the project at the event itself.
