82. "Ibn Khaldun, The Father Of Economics" Paper by Ibrahim M. Oweiss citing Khaldun's writings as the inspiration of modern economic theory and of Adam Smith himself. http://www.georgetown.edu/oweiss/ibn.htm

IBRAHIM M. OWEISS In his Prolegomena (The Muqaddimah), 'Abd al-Rahman Ibn Muhammad Ibn Khaldun al-Hadrami of Tunis (A.D. 1332-1406), commonly known as Ibn Khaldun, laid down the foundations of different fields of knowledge, in particular the science of civilization (al-'umran). His significant contributions to economics, however, should place him in the history of economic thought as a major forerunner, if not the "father," of economics, a title which has been given to Adam Smith, whose great works were published some three hundred and seventy years after Ibn Khaldun's death. Not only did Ibn Khaldun plant the germinating seeds of classical economics, whether in production, supply, or cost, but he also pioneered in consumption, demand, and utility, the cornerstones of modern economic theory. Before Ibn Khaldun, Plato and his contemporary Xenophon presented, probably for the first time In writing, a crude account of the specialization and division of labor. On a non-theoretical level, the ancient Egyptians used the techniques of specialization, particularly in the era of the Eighteenth Dynasty, in order to save time and to produce more work per hour. Following Plato, Aristotle proposed a definition of economics and considered the use of money in his analysis of exchange. His example of the use of a shoe for wear and for its use in exchange was later presented by Adam Smith as the value in use and the value in exchange. Another aspect of economic thought before Ibn Khaldun was that of the Scholastics and of the Canonites, who proposed placing economics within the framework of laws based on religious and moral perceptions for the good of all human beings. Therefore all economic activities were to be undertaken in accordance with such laws.

It is demonstrated that economic theory explains a notable part of the individual variation in a survey study. Individuals with a low net valuation of an original when a copy is available are more prone to engage in piracy than individuals with a higher valuation. Individuals with a low cost of obtaining and handling copies are also more engaged in piracy. The country-wise variation can also be explained by economic variables; GNI/capita and judicial efficiency explain a substantial part of this variation.

An overflow crowd packed Salomon 101 Tuesday afternoon to hear John Nash, the Princeton mathematician, Nobel laureate and subject of the film "A Beautiful Mind," present an unorthodox view of international monetary policy. Nash's lecture, "Ideal Money and Asymptotically Ideal Money," centered on the connection between fluctuation in inflation and exchange rates and the perceived long-term value of money. "Good money," he argued, is money that is expected to maintain its value over time. "Bad money" is expected to lose value over time, as under conditions of inflation.

92. Rational Behavior And Economic Theory We show that the main body of economic theory is firmly grounded, and that some contrasting approaches to rationality, although leading to heated debates http://www.qmw.ac.uk/~ugte173/abs/abs.jebo.html

Rational Behavior and Economic Theory Nicolaas J. Vriend , Santa Fe Institute Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization , 1996, Vol. 29, No. 2, p. 263-285 Full paper (PDF format) Abstract. Nowadays, it seems almost universally presumed that the fundamental characteristic of homo oeconomicus is his rationality. We analyze the role played by the concept of rationality in economic theory, and demonstrate that it is necessarily constrained to be an essentially contentless notion. We show that the main body of economic theory is firmly grounded, and that some contrasting approaches to rationality, although leading to heated debates and vivid confusion, have no fundamental significance for economics. With a refreshed view on the essence of economics, we argue that the principles of economic theory form an essential methodological guide for the emergent line of research based on the use of so-called 'evolutive' models.

Artificial Intelligence and Economic Theory Nicolaas J. Vriend , Santa Fe Institute IOS, Amsterdam , 1994, p. 31-47 Full paper (PDF format) Abstract. Recently, economists have shown a rapidly growing attention for the field of artificial intelligence (AI). This contribution does not discuss the technology of AI, or its applications to econometrics, business, finance or management. Instead, we explain the significance of AI for economic theory ; in particular for the theory of decentralized economies.

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL To my relief, I passed the "control", the examination at age eleven to decide who could go on to the high school, the Douglas Ewart. In these days there were prizes every year. With much parental encouragement, I tried to win them, and as far as I remember was rather successful. But I must have had some sense that this drive to win is somewhat ignoble. When a friend beat me in chemistry I recollect being scolded at home for accepting defeat with equanimity. By the age of fourteen I had acquired a strange enthusiasm for mathematics, having managed to acquire a book called Teach Yourself Calculus, and done so. When he found out, the head mathematics teacher somehow gave me individual tuition during classes, and I raced ahead. At the same time the music teacher, who was also my piano teacher, provided books like Hogben's Mathematics for the Million. In the school bus, I tried to read my mathematics teacher's university books. This was much more fun than trying to come top. When asked by the Rector (the headmaster) what I wanted to do in life, I gave the obvious answer: be a professor of mathematics. Mr Geddie sounded appropriately sceptical. The examination was held in December. The suggestion to take it was made, I believe, in June. We were not aware that in English schools those preparing for the examinations would specialize for two or three years, doing, for example, nothing but mathematics. We, my mathematics teacher and I, got past examination papers and tried to do them. It was exciting, but even in late November I found I could not always solve all the questions in the time available. We did not know that rather less was expected. There was no immediate happy outcome. The weekend I should have gone to Cambridge to take the examination I was rushed to the nearest serious hospital, seventy miles away, with peritonitis. In 1954, I went to Edinburgh, which I did not mind then, and do not regret now.

The main menu [start of page 99] Social Norms and Economic Theory Jon Elster One of the most persistent cleavages in the social sciences is the opposition between two lines of thought conveniently associated with Adam Smith and Emilie Durkheim, between homo economicus and homo sociologicus . Of these, the former is supposed to be guided by instrumental rationality, while the behavior of the latter is dictated by social norms. The former is "pulled" by the prospect of future rewards, whereas the latter is " pushed" from behind by quasi-inertial forces (Gambetta, 1987). The former adapts to changing circumstances, always on the lookout for improvements. The latter is insensitive to circumstances, sticking to the prescribed behavior even if new and apparently better options become available. The former is easily caricatured as a self-contained, asocial atom, and the latter as the mindless plaything of social forces. In this paper I characterize this contrast more fully, and discuss attempts by economists to reduce norm-oriented action to some type of optimizing behavior. 1 Rational action is concerned with outcomes. Rationality says: If you want to achieve
