The Bases of Socioeconometrics

This article aims to deepen the reflection in my work, Vers une approche en economie politique: la Socioeconometrie [Towards a political economic approach: Socioeconometrics] published in 1997, which discusses the construction of the economy based on economic facts. With regard to the complexity of economic facts, which at the beginning is a social act, the article attempts to show that it is important to understand economic realities through a multidimensional approach. An in-depth examination of the construction of some economic theories & facts that helped those constructions to happen shows the importance of the concept of space & time. Yet, it is not about the classical concept of time & space, but about concepts perceived under the angle of their decline or not within the economy. The combination of space & time helps to better understand economic realities as a systemic totality. The systematisation of economic realities leads to a consideration of economic facts as having some sociological implications, & sociological facts as having some economic incidences. Lastly, the reflection then examines the role of econometrics as a means to deepen & understand economic theories. Adapted from the source document.
