Money and its Future: A response to Mary Mellor
No full textMary Mellor, in a recent book, points out the social nature of money, as opposed to the traditional view according to which money is the outcome of individuals’ optimization. Claudio Sardoni argues that Mellor's view of money is not satisfactory. In particular, he questions Mellor's notion of ‘privatization of money’ and criticizes Mellor's approach. On the basis of Keynes, Sardoni proposes a different approach to money as a social phenomenon.
The Present Crisis: Should we go ‘beyond economics’?
No full textEconomics is not a monolithic body. Therefore, to call for going ‘beyond economics’ requires qualifications and understanding the pluralistic nature of the discipline. Claudio Sardoni briefly looks at the contributions from three non-mainstream economists (Marx, Keynes and Minsky), whose ideas he argues are very important to understanding the present crisis.

The Marxian schemes of reproduction and the theory of effective demand
No full textThe paper deals with some theoretical and analytical issues raised by a recent book by Trigg on Marx's schemes of reproduction. The paper presents a generalized model of expanded reproduction and concentrates on the attempt to develop Marx's schemes along Keynesian lines. Trigg tries to develop a Keynesian interpretation of the schemes without significant changes to Marx's original approach; the paper argues that the abandonment of some of Marx's hypotheses, in particular that of free competition, is necessary to allows us to provide a Marxian determination of underemployment equilibria and to use a Marxian version of the Keynesian concept of multiplier. In considering Marx's and Keynes's analyses of capitalist economies, the paper also emphasizes their similarities with respect to the importance of money and the capitalists' liquidity preference in the process of reproduction and growth.

Macroeconomic Theory and Macroeconomic Pedagogy – A review of the book edited by Giuseppe Fontana and Mark Setterfield
No full textFirst paragraph: As Claudio Sardoni in this issue points out, Giuseppe Fontana and Mark Setterfield (2009) have edited a very interesting volume. Given the vast amounts of macroeconomic literature published since Hick's invention of the IS-LM model and the still existing predominance of this model in many undergraduate textbooks, it is clearly time for new approaches to teaching macroeconomics

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
