Publication Open Access The economic study of politics: Insights and reflections2024-12-01 - Félix, Laura Adão; Pereira, Francisco; Duarte, António Portugal; Bação, PedroEconomic and political phenomena coexist in society, but are often seen as divergent spheres of human action and interaction. A theoretical manifestation of this separation is the assumption that while economic agents act in their own self-interest, political agents are motivated by the public interest. Additionally, it is commonly assumed – if only implic-itly – that political agents possess all the necessary knowledge for rational action, effectively portraying political agents as omniscient beings. Drawing on public choice theory and on the economic literature on the nature of knowledge, we review arguments that challenge the two assumptions.Publication Restricted Access On the survival of a flawed theory of capital: Mainstream economics and the Cambridge capital controversies2024-03-01 - Pereira, Francisco; Moura, Mário GraçaThe Cambridge controversies on capital theory opposed heterodox economists, mainly from the University of Cambridge, UK, to mainstream economists, mostly based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA. The controversies started in the 1950s and occupied the pages of some of the most influential journals. Their primary outcome was the broad acknowledgement of flaws, which we retrieve, in the concept of aggregate capital. Despite that acknowledgement, aggregate, homogeneous capital remains a staple of contemporary macroeconomics, as if the Cambridge controversies had never existed. To account for this apparent paradox is the aim of this article. We examine the arguments seeking to justify the enduring commitment to the aggregate capital approach and argue that they indicate an implicit commitment to instrumentalism. The indifference to the results of the Cambridge controversies is a consequence of methodological conformism and has shaky foundations.Publication Open Access Graduate employment: Does the type of higher education institution matter?2023-04-19 - Tavares, Orlanda; Sin, Cristina; Sá, Carla; Amaral, Alberto; Pereira, FranciscoThe paper analyses whether the type of institution from which students graduate has an impact on their unemployment propensity. It uses official data on the Portuguese higher education system, for 2018, at the program/institution level, which provides information on graduate unemployment, as well as demographic and socioeconomic background information. A fractional probit model on graduates’ propensity for unemployment is estimated. Results suggest that polytechnic graduates face higher unemployment propensity than university graduates, maintaining inequalities present in students’ previous trajectories. Policies targeting socioeconomic segregation need to address not only access to higher education but also the transition to the labor market.Publication Open Access Economics and ideology, historically and ontologically discussed [Comunicação oral]2024-12-06 - Pereira, Francisco; Moura, Mário GraçaIn this paper, we focus on the significance and semantics of ideology, starting from the history of economic thought. Our conclusion, drawing on the contributions of Marx, Schumpeter, and Lawson, is that ideology, correctly conceived, is a distinct, irreplaceable category, unavoidable in economics. This conception of ideology also explains why ontology matters to distinguish science and ideology.Publication Open Access On the survival of a flawed theory of capital: Mainstream economics and the Cambridge capital controversies2024-01-08 - Pereira, FranciscoThe Cambridge controversies on capital theory opposed heterodox economists, mainly from the University of Cambridge, UK, to mainstream economists, mostly based at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, USA.
