Les institutions comme objets émergents. Une perspective ontologique

Abstract

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.
