Abstract

This paper aims at understanding social practices and institutions that ensured the transnational diffusion, recognition, and renewal of the research program in the General Equilibrium Theory (GET), in spite of multiple critics and apparent theoretical dead ends. First, we trace the main conceptual developments of the Walrasian GET program since the 1950s and thus elaborate on its intellectual identity. Then, based on a systematic study of the educational and professional trajectories typical for several generations of GET scholars, we analyze a social form taken by this transnational and multidisciplinary “scientific community”: an institutional dynamics of the Walrasian GET program, most common career patterns, and the forms of international and intergenerational transmission. We construct a database of GET theorists and apply to this dataset a technique of Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) in order to investigate the relational patterns between attribution of scientific credit (symbolic capital) and biographical properties in a transnational space of the GET scholars.

瓦尔拉斯经济学纲领的兴衰：一般均衡理论的社会与智力动态

本文旨在理解确保一般均衡理论研究计划跨国传播、认可和更新的社会实践和制度，尽管存在多重批评和明显的理论死胡同。首先，我们追溯了自20世纪50年代以来瓦尔拉斯GET计划的主要概念发展，从而阐述了其知识特征。然后，基于对几代GET学者典型的教育和职业轨迹的系统研究，我们分析了这个跨国和多学科的“科学共同体”所采取的一种社会形式：瓦尔拉斯GET计划的制度动态、最常见的职业模式以及国际和代际传递的形式。我们构建了一个GET理论家的数据库，并将多重对应分析（MCA）技术应用于该数据集，以研究GET学者跨国空间中科学信用（象征资本）归属与传记属性之间的关系模式。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
