About the Seminar
The conceptual transpositions that allow for moving from physical to economic models are based on analogical reasoning and intuition in an epistemic sense. One of the central issues of such transpositions is their justification (both empirical and logical). Focusing on general aspects of price theory, this work proposes a way to confront that issue in terms of multi-level network density and the emergence of geometric novelty, which in turn are thought to be manifestations of institutional robustness.
