Programme<http://economix.u-paris10.fr/fr/activites/colloques/?id=95&page=programme>

Money – its existence and its properties – is a common concern for social
scientists, economists included. But economists and other social scientists
scarcely meet and debate together on the state of the art in their
respective disciplines. When they do, a lack of reciprocal knowledge makes
discussion difficult and not free of misunderstandings. Economists are not
the sole to be blamed. As specialization in research is increasing it is
more and more difficult for each of us to keep an eye on what is going on in
other disciplines. This is especially true for economics.

Economic theory has experienced deep transformations in the field during the
last 20 years. The existence of a monetary equilibrium has been proved for
the first time with money conceived as an intermediary of exchange (Iwai,
Kiyotaki & Wright, etc.). Many traditional views have been restated in new
terms, thanks to search-theoretic approach. Money finds a room in economy as
a remedy either to barter inconveniences or to private information on
commodities (Williamson & Wright) or to an impossibility of commitment
(Kiyotaki & Moore) or to an absence of a record-keeping device
(Kocherlakota), etc. Essentiality of money (Wallace) is now a prerequisite
for any proposition about the properties of monetary equilibria (neutrality,
optimality, etc.). Studying money along these lines economists have dealt
with themes usually treated by social scientists, as social norms (Araujo),
gift economies (Kocherlakota) to say nothing about trust. Have they built a
bridge between economics and other social sciences or have they simply
invaded and colonized sociology and anthropology? How worth are the recent
advances in money economic theory from the point of view of social sciences
at large?

The purpose of the workshop, whose title alludes to Georg Simmel, is to
allow economists working along the new trends in money theory to meet social
scientists working along their own lines (or the other way round). Not only
a better reciprocal knowledge will result from such a confrontation but also
a more precise assessment of what has been done in a recent past and,
hopefully, some cross-fertilization in the future.
