A Guide to Paradigmatic Self-Marginalization: Lessons for Post-Keynesian Economists

Abstract: While many heterodox economic scholars hope for a paradigmatic change in economics due to the great financial crisis, this paper emphasizes that path-dependent elements and institutional factors within the economic community constitute a substantial barrier for paradigmatic change. Focusing on the citation behavior of economists in heterodox journals in general and in Post-Keynesian journals in particular, we discuss some structural reasons for the marginalization of heterodox economic thought in connection wi… Show more

“…The Figure also depicts a low connection among the four coloured nodes. The Journals within each coloured node can be described as a core-periphery pattern (Dobusch and Kapeller 2012 ). The core journals are shown in the central spot within each node, which are considered the primary academic Journals of a particular thematic area of the IB&F research.…”

“…Thus, we explore four ways of theorizing about MGP’s voices as a criticism of being marginalized in business, a criticism most clearly expressed in quotations: (i) We apply Amartya Sen’s perspective on MGP’s critical agency to contribute to a more positive publishing policy in the JBE and BEQ , in cooperation with MGP, a plan focusing on MGP’s explicit voices about their experiences of being marginalized in business; (ii) we present a criticism of the gatekeeping role of academia linked to a possible exclusion of the quotations of MGP’s critical agency; (iii) we denote quotations of MGP’s criticism of their marginalized role in business assigned the role of a primary source; and (iv) we introduce a participative perspective on MGP’s criticism of the lived experience, particularity, and complexity of being marginalized in business. We consider these heterodox positions as characterized by what Dobusch and Kapeller ( 2012 ) call “the epistemological advantage associated with a pluralist conception of science” (p. 485).…”

“…The resulting lack of diversity within the economic discipline has been studied empirically, in particular by analyzing the relative citation flows between 13 high-ranked mainstream and 13 high-ranked heterodox economic journals in two different periods: before -2008Dobusch & Kapeller 2012b) and after the recent financial and economic crisis (2009Aistleitner et al 2018). The results indicate that the monistic and closed citation behavior exhibited by (highly-ranked) mainstream economic journals remained stable after the crisis, as the mainstream journals continue to devote only minimal attention to heterodox inputs (as is evidenced by the small share of citations -less than 3% -imported from heterodox sources 13 ; see Figure 9).…”
