Isolating Representations Versus Credible Constructions? Economic Modelling in Theory and Practice 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Tarja Knuuttila 《Erkenntnis》2009,70(1):59-80
This paper examines two recent approaches to the nature and functioning of economic models: models as isolating representations
and models as credible constructions. The isolationist view conceives of economic models as surrogate systems that isolate
some of the causal mechanisms or tendencies of their respective target systems, while the constructionist approach treats
them rather like pure constructions or fictional entities that nevertheless license different kinds of inferences. I will
argue that whereas the isolationist view is still tied to the representationalist understanding of models that takes the model-target
dyad as the basic unit of analysis, the constructionist perspective can better accommodate the way we actually acquire knowledge
through them. Using the example of Tobin’s ultra-Keynesian model I will show how many of the epistemic characteristics of
modelling tend to go unrecognised if too much focus is placed on the model-target dyad.
