Abstract

Visualization in economics was common, and in trade theory almost a primary mode of analysis and demonstration from the late 19th century until the 1960s. Why? This paper presents two versions of the gains from trade notion that have come to us in visual form, one due to Marshall, the other to Viner and Samuelson. The two are very different, a fact better understood against a backdrop of recent neurological research on visualization. A key finding of that work is that our ability to conceive and recognize forms depends on forms previously seen and stored in the brain. Early exposure and nurturing matter greatly. The research also stresses that there is no basis for distinguishing between seeing and understanding. A satisfactory answer to the ‘Why?’ question thus requires that we attend to audiences and their capabilities, some hints concerning which are offered here.

从19世纪70年代中期到1962年的贸易收益可视化

从19世纪末到20世纪60年代，可视化在经济学中很常见，在贸易理论中几乎是分析和论证的主要模式。为什么?本文以直观的形式呈现了两个版本的贸易收益概念，一个来自马歇尔，另一个来自维纳和萨缪尔森。这两者是非常不同的，这一事实在最近关于可视化的神经学研究的背景下得到了更好的理解。这项工作的一个关键发现是，我们构思和识别形式的能力取决于我们之前看到并储存在大脑中的形式。早期的接触和培养非常重要。该研究还强调，没有区分看到和理解的基础。对“为什么?”这个问题要求我们注意听众和他们的能力，这里提供了一些提示。
