摘要

1901年，科雷亚·莫伊兰·沃尔什(Correa Moylan Walsh)因撰写了一本关于指数的开创性专著而闻名。然而，他对货币经济学的贡献，尽管被忽视，却超越了他在指数方面的工作，后者被认为是为了满足他更基本的关切。因此，我们的目标是双重的。首先，我们希望恢复沃尔什作为20世纪早期一位重要经济学家的角色。其次，我们打算更广泛地描述他对货币经济学的入侵。我们的论点是，沃尔什的货币科学方法的基石并不局限于指数数字，而是涉及到他对不同类型的经济价值的区分，以及关于货币应该衡量和储存哪种价值的讨论。因此，我们认为沃尔什1903年出版的《货币科学的基本问题》(The Fundamental Problem in Monetary Science)是他的典型作品。

CORREA MOYLAN WALSH BEYOND INDEX NUMBERS: FROM THE “BATTLE OF THE STANDARDS” TO THE SCIENCE OF MONEY

In 1901, Correa Moylan Walsh gained renown for writing a groundbreaking monograph on index numbers. His contributions to monetary economics, however, though neglected, transcend his work on index numbers, which was conceived to serve more foundational concerns of his. Therefore, our aim is twofold. First, we want to recover Walsh’s role as an important early twentieth-century economist. Second, we intend to provide a wider account of his incursion into monetary economics. Our argument is that the cornerstone of Walsh’s approach to the science of money is not confined to index numbers but concerns his distinction between different kinds of economic value and the discussion regarding the kind of value that money should measure and store. As such, we identify Walsh’s 1903 book, The Fundamental Problem in Monetary Science, as his archetypical work.
