Voprosy Ekonomiki, 2010, issue 7

Abstract: This comment on a paper by Ch. Bessy and O. Favereau ("Institutions and Economics of Conventions") discusses an interdisciplinary character of the theory of conventions and a potential fruitfulness of a dialogue between social sciences. In light of this dialogue, some particularities of the conventionalist use of a notion of "institution" are reviewed as well as the interpretation given by Bessy and Favereau to a relation between "institution" and "convention". Finally, a question is formulated concerning the consequences of the conventionalist analysis of institutions for social ontology and methodology of economic sciences.
