The Marketplace of New Economic Ideas

Cahlík, Tomáš

Year: 2000   Volume: 50   Issue: 11   Pages: 586-587

Abstract: George J. Stigler, in his Nobel price lecture of 1982, suggested that the economics of information could be applied to the marketplace of new economic ideas. Economists enter this marketplace ? economic knowledge ? principally on the demand side, where they attempt to distinguish new and fundamental ideas. The following questions are relevant upon entering the demand side of this marketplace: What journals should I read? What are the important research themes? What are the important papers? At the juncture between the economics of information and other social sciences, co-word and citation analyses are proposed as search instruments in the pursuit of fundamental research themes and articles. These methods are specifically applied to economic knowledge in this article.
