Abstract

Swedish economists have received impulses from historical or institutuionalist sources on many occasions. A couple of these economists, Gunnar Myrdal and Johan Akerman, received obvious impulses from American institutionalism. This article deals with the case of Akerman. To attempt a wall-to-wall chart of institutional influences on an economist is hardly possible. But what is possible is to examine occasions when he was exposed to powerful ‘jolts’, viz in conjunction with studies at an American university. Johan akerman studied at Harvard in Cambridge in 1919–20. he evetually became – alongside Myrdal – the leading institutional economist.

制度观念病毒:约翰的案例Åkerman

瑞典经济学家在许多场合受到历史或制度主义来源的推动。其中两位经济学家贡纳尔·默达尔(Gunnar Myrdal)和约翰·阿克曼(Johan Akerman)明显受到了美国制度主义的推动。这篇文章讨论的是阿克曼的案例。试图绘制一张制度对经济学家影响的完整图表几乎是不可能的。但有可能的是，我们可以考察一下他受到强烈“冲击”的场合，即与他在美国大学的学习联系起来。约翰·阿克曼于1919年至1920年在剑桥的哈佛大学学习。他最终与默达尔一起成为著名的制度经济学家。
