Abstract:

When William Stanley Jevons first presented his theory of exchange, he used the example of two trading bodies (A and B) holding stocks of corn and beef (goods X and Y), but he was eager to show how the basic results could be applied to a variety of situations. After considering the relatively simple introduction of transport costs, Jevons added three subsections (Jevons 1957, pp. 111–19) which demonstrated his confident handling of his approach. There have been many critical comments on Jevons's handling of mathematics, including those of Alfred Marshall in his review of the Theory of Political Economy (Jevons 1872; see Black 1981). However, these examples show that Jevons produced a clear and succinct statement of the mathematical structure of the theory of exchange.

Abstract:

This article explores the basis for the well-known hostility of William Stanley Jevons toward John Stuart Mill, and offers an alternative explanation to those which have hitherto dominated discussion. After reviewing the importance of disagreements over economic doctrine and questions of scientific method, as well as the “psychological dimension” to the hostility, the article makes the case for considering a “fourth dimension”: the centrality of religion and, more particularly, an urgent fear of religious unbelief in the 1860s and 1870s. The article concludes that by identifying religion at the root of Jevons’s hostility to Mill we are reminded of the need to routinely consider religion and religious concerns when analyzing later nineteenth-century political economy.

Abstract:

Historians of economic thought typically have seen little or no connection between William Stanley Jevons's economic theory and policy issues. Wesley C. Mitchell, for example, suggested that Jevons had little interest in politics and was uncertain on the questions of the day. He was “basically interested in the subject [of economics] as a science and not as a means of bettering economic organization” (Mitchell 1969, pp. 31, 101-2). Mitchell's comments are curious in view of Jevons's extensive writings on public issues. His book, The State in Relation to Labour (1882), is considered a classic on the subject of policy and a rationalization for interventionist government. Jevons's pronouncement that “we can lay down no hard and fast rules, but must treat every case upon its merits” may well have marked the end of the “liberal era of principles,” according to F. A. Hayek (Hutchison 1978, pp. 100-101). Certainly Jevons intended as much.

Abstract:

William Stanley Jevons (1835–1882) was one of the great Victorian polymaths. His published writing spans chemistry, meteorology, geology, astronomy, geometry, physiology, political economy, sociology, logic and the philosophy of science. The extraordinary range and volume of this output was not the result of dabbling in the tradition of the Victorian “gentleman scientific amateur.” Dependent in large part on extensive experimental practice, Jevons's work was published in prominent physics journals and his Principles of Science (1874) was considered by one physicist to be a state of the art summary of scientific method and principles (Clifford, 1875, p. 480). Jevons's versatility was evident throughout his life. His article on “reflected rainbows,” which drew on a controversy in art and optics, was published in the month of his death.

Abstract:

The development of economic thinking has seldom taken place entirely independently of developments in other disciplines. There is a long history of interdisciplinary influences among economics, mathematics, physics, biology, and philosophy. Among the most influential of these other disciplines has been physics. Numerous authors have attributed significant influence upon economics to Newtonian mechanics (Taylor 1960, Georgescu-Roegen 1971). The strength of that influence is perhaps best illustrated by William Stanley Jevons's proclamation of his attempt to reconstruct economics as “the mechanics of utility and self interest.“ Frank Knight, having observed what Jevons and others had wrought, concluded that mechanics had become the “sister science” of economics (Knight 1976, p. 85).

Ao se estudar História do Pensamento Econômico (HPE) nos livros-textos de graduação, percebe-se que o tratamento dado ao triunvirato formado por William Stanley Jevons, Léon Walras e Carl Menger mostra que suas ideias eram homogêneas. Entretanto, na leitura dos principais livros de Jevons, percebe-se que há um distanciamento de ideias e de definições bastante grande entre ele e, por exemplo, Walras, tal como ambos também concluíram em suas correspondências. A intenção desse trabalho é de revisitar as obras de William Stanley Jevons a fim de desomogeneizá-lo dos outros dois marginalistas. Para isso, na primeira parte desse trabalho, serão analisadas as principais obras de lógica de Jevons e de sua obra em metodologia The Principles of Science, uma vez que, segundo Mosselmans (1998), Stanley Jevons tentou aplicar seu conhecimento em lógica na Economia. No segundo capítulo, de posse dos argumentos lógicos e metodológicos de Jevons, será feita uma análise histórica e econômica da obra The Coal Question e suas consequências na vida acadêmica de Jevons. Neste mesmo capítulo serão analisadas as Teorias da Utilidade, da Troca e do Trabalho de modo que se evidenciem os principais conceitos e métodos matemáticos utilizados pro Jevons no livro The Theory of Political Economy. Também será analisada a Teoria do Sun-spot considerada o primeiro passo na Manchester Statistical Society em analisar os ciclos econômicos. Por fim, no último capítulo, será exposta a tese de William Jaffé sobre a desomogeneização do triunvirato marginalista e, nas seções subsequentes, haverá a tese levantada por Sandra Peart sobre a re-homogeneizaçao de Jevons e Menger.

Abstract:

John Stuart Mill et William Stanley Jevons sont des représentants clés du passage vers le marginalisme en économie. Dans le même temps, ils se réclament tous deux de l’utilitarisme, doctrine philosophique reconnue pour ses liens avec le féminisme. Leurs revendications en ce qui concerne les femmes sont pourtant tout à fait divergentes : si Mill prône des réformes égalitaires et s’oppose aux Factory Acts limitant le travail des femmes, Jevons adhère à l’ensemble des lois restrictives adoptées au XIXe siècle et prône en outre la prohibition du travail des mères de jeunes enfants dans les usines. Cet apparent paradoxe est résolu lorsqu’on considère l’opposition de Mill et Jevons comme l’emblème d’une rupture plus générale entre utilitaristes classiques et premiers marginalistes sur la question des femmes. Mill se situe, au sujet des femmes, dans la lignée des premiers : comme eux, il considère que les intérêts des femmes doivent compter autant que ceux des hommes et en tire un certain nombre de conséquences. Il prolonge en particulier les avancées de Jeremy Bentham, père de l’utilitarisme classique, vers une considération plus grande des intérêts des femmes par les économistes. Jevons, lui, apparaît comme représentatif de ces auteurs du dernier tiers du XIXe siècle qui certes soulèvent la question des femmes mais dont la position semble marquer un recul par rapport à celles de leurs prédécesseurs. Ainsi en est-il de plusieurs économistes marginalistes, tels que Marshall, qui désignent le foyer comme le lieu idéal d’expression des femmes où elles accomplissent leur fonction première, la reproduction. L’analyse de l’opposition de Mill et Jevons offre alors des éléments de réponse à la question suivante : comment se fait-il que les premiers marginalistes, après les avancées de l’utilitarisme classique vers une meilleure prise en compte, en économie, des femmes et des problèmes les affectant, aient renvoyé ces dernière dans ce qu’ils considèrent comme leur véritable place, le foyer ?
John Stuart Mill and William Stanley Jevons are key representatives of transition to Marginalism in Economy. At the same time, they both claim to be a part of Utilitarianism, a philosophical theory known for its connections with feminism. Though, their demands about women are quite divergent: if Mill recommends egalitarian reforms and disagrees with Factory Acts restricting women’s employment, Jevons adheres to the whole of the restrictive laws passed in the 19th Century and advocates the prohibition of mothers of young children employment in factories. This apparent contradiction is solved if Mill and Jevons opposition is considered as a symbol of a more general break up between Classical Utilitarians and Early Marginalists on the question of women. Mill, on this subject, is in line with Classical Utilitarians: like them, he considers that women’s interests should be equal to men’s ones and he draws conclusions from that. He extends Jeremy Bentham’s – regarded as the father of Classical Utilitarianism – breakthroughs to a greater consideration of women’s interests by economists. As for Jevons, he appears to be representative of these authors from the latter third of 19th Century who admittedly raised the question of women but whose position seems to make a step backwards compared to their predecessors’. In this way, several Marginalists, like Marshall, define home as the ideal place of women’s expression, the place where they accomplish their primary function, reproduction. Analysis of Mill and Jevons opposition then gives elements of answer to the following question: How is it that Early Marginalists, after the Classical Utilitarians’ breakthroughs to a better consideration of women and their issues in economy, have sent them back to the place these men consider women belong – home?

Abstract:

L’épuisement des énergies fossiles est un thème d’actualité dont les prémices datent, selon l’opinion courante, des années 1970 et du premier choc pétrolier. En réalité, c’est une préoccupation plus ancienne, intimement liée à l’ère industrielle. Dans la deuxième partie du XIXème siècle, les économistes se sont penchés sur la question de l'épuisement des minerais, ‘objet non identifié’ jusqu'alors et nécessitant la mise sur pied de nouveaux outils d'analyse (effet-rebond chez Jevons, rente minière chez Marshall-Einaudi notamment). Avec le progrès des techniques et l'apparition de nouvelles énergies (pétrole, hydro-électricité), leurs craintes de déclin industriel se sont progressivement dissipées dans les années 1910 et 1920. Mais ces évolutions tenant à l’histoire des faits ne sont pas les seules à considérer. Des facteurs internes à la discipline économique, comme l'émergence du marginalisme dans les années 1870 et de la théorie de l'épargne et du capital dans les années 1890, ont aussi changé le regard des économistes sur la question de l'épuisement des ressources. Pourquoi ? Comment ? Quels enseignements peut-on en tirer pour les défis environnementaux d'aujourd'hui ? Voilà les questions qui sont traitées dans ce travail de thèse
Fossil fuels exhaustion is a current topic. It is often said that its first presages appeared in the 1970s with the first oil shock. Actually, this exhaustion fear is much older than that, it started with the Industrial Revolution and kept going since then. In the second part of the 19th century, some economists focused their attention on the mineral resources depletion, which was at the time an ‘unknown item’ that necessitated the creation of new concepts and new analytical tools to deal with (for example Jevons’ rebound-effect, Marshall-Einaudi’s mining rent). In the 1910s and 1920s, thanks to technical progress and the development of new energies (oil, hydro-electricity), their fears about industrial decline progressively dissipated. Yet, these factual evolutions are not the only ones to consider. Internal factors, inside economic science (marginalism in the 1870s, capital theory in the 1890s), also shaped economists’ viewpoint on resources exhaustion. Why? How? What lessons can we get from this period for our current environmental challenges? These are the questions that are studied in this thesis

Abstract:

Cette thèse de doctorat porte sur les manières dont deux économistes du XIXe siècle, W. S. Jevons et L. Walras, abordent la question du bien-être collectif et la prise de décision publique. Connus principalement pour leurs travaux en économie pure, ces auteurs s'intéressent également à la question sociale et proposent des solutions pour Y remédier. Jevons, conformément à son adhésion à la tradition utilitariste, estime que les interventions des autorités publiques doivent avoir pour objectif l'amélioration du bien-être collectif. Quant à Walras, il adopte un critère de justice qui relève du « droit naturel» et les propositions sociales qu'il préconise sont justifiées sur la base de leur conformité avec ce dernier. A l'issue du travail effectué dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous avons abouti à deux résultats principaux: 1)Les analyses de Jevons et Walras, deux économistes qui sont souvent considérés comme des « marginalistes » diffèrent fondamentalement non seulement dans leur analyse de l'économie pure mais également en termes d'économie du bien-être. 2)Il existe deux voies originales pour justifier les réformes sociales dans les œuvres de Jevons et Walras qui partagent des similarités importantes avec les théories modernes bien que ces auteurs ne fassent pas partie des jalons généralement retenus de l'histoire de l'économie du bien-être et de l'économie publique. Ces deux résultats nous conduisent à avancer que l'étude des approches de Jevons et de Walras peut contribuer à la formulation de nouvelles solutions à des problèmes rencontrés dans l'évaluation des différentes politiques publiques, car elles peuvent permettre de nuancer certains aspects des méthodes modernes.
