TY - BOOK AU - Brisset,Nicolas TI - Institutions as Emergent Objects PY - 2015///. N1 - 1 N2 - This paper examines the use of the concept of emergence in the work of Tony Lawson. While this notion is widespread in institutional economics, Lawson remains the only to provide a clear ontological justification of this use. Nevertheless, I argue that Tony Lawson argument is insufficient, and that the definition of emergent phenomena he gives must be enriched through some considerations about the specificity of the social world.Classification JEL : B41, B52 UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-revue-economique-2015-3-page-615?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
