What can economists learn from deleuze?
Belabes, Abderrazak - In: Economic thought 9 (2020) 2, pp. 55-67
Listening, seeing and reading Gilles Deleuze has had an influence on my thinking more than most of the economic writings I have consulted over the past quarter of a century. This discovery and furtherance of knowledge enriched my reflection and also allowed me to go beyond the general...

Okun’s Law as a Pi-to-1 ratio: A harmonic / trigonometric theory as to why Okun’s Law works
Albers, Scott - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
“Okun’s Law” states a 3:1 proportion between percent growth in U. S. real GNP and percent decrease in the rate of unemployment. This paper argues that this ratio is actually a Pi:1 proportion, heretofore unrecognized because it is displayed through a form of mathematic / harmonic inverse....

Does “Okun’s Law” state a Pi:1 ratio? Toward a harmonic interpretation of why Okun’s Law works
Albers, Scott; Albers, Andrew L. - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2013
In Albers & Albers (Spring, 2013) we demonstrated that the historic development of U.S. real GNP, 1869-present, may be structured in recurring 14-year periods. A steady-state rate of growth of 3.4969% is thereby calculated, generating an increase in real GNP proportional to the famous “Golden...

I show how we can conceive of the semiosphere as a fundamental physical phenomenon … semiosis is seen as a physical process involving causal interactions between physical systems with functions.

Studying deception without deceiving participants: An experiment of deception experiments
Alberti, Federica; Güth, Werner - 2012
Banning deception in economic experiments does not exclude experiments with participants in the role of experimenters who can gain by deceiving those in the role of participants. We compare treatments with and without possible deception by experimenter-participants to test whether deception...
