Economics
• What do we learn from mechanics?
• What do we learn from equilibrium thermodynamics?
• What do we learn from out of equilibrium thermodynamics?
• Does economics have something to do with thermodynamics?
• A model where few things matter: (conservation, friction, rate…)
Economics IS Mechanics!...............?
… and Herman Laurent wrote to Léon Walras….(about the integrability of the model)
Economics ARE Thermodynamics !............?
Equilibrium thermodynamics: Callen approach
General structure
Thermodynamics
Economics
Thermoelastic coefficients & Elasticities
Is there an Economic “material”?
Debreu: Job is done….Really?
So, in other words:
The economics "material" is defined by the laws acting on...the economic "material“
The economics laws are derived from the measurements made on the economics “material”… which is defined by the same laws…that define….
Partial conclusion
1. Economics do not have the structure of thermodynamics.
2. There is no problem with doing local optimization…until we don’t claim it is GENERAL.
3. There is no fundamental equation for the economy, nor variational principle (hopefully)
4. There is no ergodicity.
5. T, P…are emerging properties, are there any in economics?
GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM
And….Economic systems are not equilibrium systems!
Commodity space
Out of equilibrium: Schumpeter
The Roegen assumption: « matter matters too»
The far out of equilibrium assumption is ok,
but there is no need of a fourth thermodynamics principle
for matter.
Money temperature (Yakovenko 2009)
There is no problem with such a definition, but why should
we call it temperature and not simply the average value of
the money carried by agents?AND!
There is no emerging quantity
« Well-lit roads and burned bridges » (Glucina & Mayumi 2010)
"The fact that there are no known exceptions to the laws of thermodynamics should be
incorporated into the axiomatic foundation of economics."(Underwood 1989) ∙
"Real financial markets cannot behave thermodynamically" because "financial markets are
unstable, they do not approach statistical equilibrium, nor are there any available topological
invariants on which to base a purely formal statistical mechanics." (Mc Caulley 2003) ∙
"If economics is to be considered as a science-based discipline, the principles of physical
science, including the laws of thermodynamics, must be appropriately applied." (Wallace 2009)
"We need to begin to incorporate energy and entropy thinking into economics."(Kummel 2011)
The use of thermodynamics in Economics
• Conservative laws (no full substitutability)
• Non conservation of some physical quantities (utility...)
• Difference between extensive and intensive physical quantities
• Intensive physical quantities are the potentials from which we can derive forces∙
• Intensive physical quantities are the potentials that give a possible measurement of the quality∙
• There is no economic entropy but we can consider quantity and quality approach∙ (general exergy)
• Give up the full thermodynamic paradigm (Integrability, Equation of state...)
• Time does matter BUT, there is no variational principle in out-of-equilibrium systems
Time does matter: a mechanical description
Efficiency is not restricted to pure thermodynamic description.
