World War II was the key development in the history of economics of the 20th century. It was a scientific war that secured the United States as an academic and geopolitical power, receiving a host of European scholars fleeing from authoritarian regimes, and it brought economists in contact to applied mathematicians and statisticians in war projects, with operations research becoming the t…

This project has two main goals: (a) to assess the explanatory capacity of mainstream economic models based on a paradigmatic case, which is Robert Lucas's Phillips Curve modelling (1976) and (b) to evaluate the applicability of the so-called quaternary account of explanation to process and analyze the information obtained from that model. In his path-breaking article published in 1976, "…
On the one hand, macroeconometrics and the Cowles Commission (CC) approach have been judiciously analyzed by historians of economics. On the other hand, microeconometrics, applied economic fields and experiments outside the laboratory have just recently started to be dealt with in the history of economic thought community. As a consequence, the history of experiments in econometrics, up t…
The emergence and development of Mathematical Economics has been a subject of great interest recently among historians of economics, in particular that produced in the US. The recent period has also witnessed a surge of historical accounts of major economics departments such as those at the University of Chicago, University of Cambridge and MIT. Understanding the spread of Mathematical Ec…

This project has a specific target: to develop a philosophical defence in favour of reductionism in economics. More particularly, it concentrates on the debates involving the microfoundations of macroeconomics: the view held by several mainstream economists according to which the explanations for macroeconomic events must be grounded on individual decision-making problems. As such, any ot…

Following the footsteps of Epstein (1987) and Morgan (1990), the history of econometrics has focused on the history of the Cowles Commission (CC) approach. It comes as no surprise that the initial efforts of the history of econometrics, thus, were closely related to the history of macroeconomics and mathematical economics. Renamed members of the CC were leading researchers in the field of…
In this project I follow the literature of the history of economics after World War II. It develops further my research agenda that I initiated during my PhD and consolidated in Brazil with a research fellowship from CNPq. My goal here is to analyze historical issues related to how macroeconomists observe the economy through model building and manipulating. The specific focus will be on t…
