Abstract
In this note we scrutinize and comment on Nobuo Okishio’s review of Piero Sraffa’s Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities. We limit ourselves only to observations by Okishio which we consider debatable. These concern in particular his treatment of wages in the price equations, his interpretation of Sraffa’s Standard commodity and his criticism of the marginalist theory of value and distribution.
在这篇笔记中,我们对冲绍信雄(Nobuo Okishio)对皮耶罗-斯拉法(Piero Sraffa)的《通过商品生产商品》(Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities)一书的评论进行了仔细研究和评论。我们只讨论我们认为有争议的 Okishio 的观点。这些意见尤其涉及他对价格等式中工资的处理、他对斯拉法的标准商品的解释以及他对价值和分配的边际理论的批评。
期刊介绍:
The Evolutionary and Institutional Economics Review (EIER) is issued by the Japan Association for Evolutionary Economics to provide an international forum for new theoretical and empirical approaches to evolutionary and institutional economics. EIER, free from the view of equilibrium economics and methodological individualism, should face the diversity of human behavior and dynamic transformation of institutions. In EIER, “economics” is used in its broadest sense. It covers areas from the classic research in economic history, economic thought, economic theory, and management science to emerging research fields such as economic sociology, bio-economics, evolutionary game theory, agent-based modeling, complex systems study, econo-physics, experimental economics, and so on. EIER follows the belief that a truly interdisciplinary discussion is needed to propel the investigation in the dynamic process of socio-economic change where institutions as emergent outcomes of human actions do matter. Although EIER is an official journal of the Japan Association for Evolutionary Economics, it welcomes non-members'' contributions from all parts of the world. All the contributions are refereed under strict scientific criteria, although EIER does not apply monolithic formalistic measure to them. Evolution goes hand in hand with diversities; this is also the spirit of EIER. Focus areas of the Review (not exhaustive): - Foundations of institutional and evolutionary economics - Criticism of mainstream views in the social sciences - Knowledge and learning in socio-economic life - Development and innovation of technologies - Transformation of industrial organizations and economic systems - Experimental studies in economics - Agent-based modeling of socio-economic systems - Evolution of the governance structure of firms and other organizations - Comparison of dynamically changing institutions of the world - Policy proposals in the transformational process of economic life
