- detourdog 3y agoThis has nothing to do with economics.
- lilactown 3y agoThat’s true
- esafak 3y agoThe "algebraic" qualifier should have tipped you off.
- detourdog 3y agoWhy is that? I was intrigued by combination of words and found out it had nothing to do with what I thought.
- esafak 3y agoBecause an algebraic effect has no meaning in economics, as best I know, so the context must be something else.
- defrost 3y agoThe best bet to assume that it does, many econ majors have math backgrounds and many other want to pimp their work up and borrow terms. Eg: (after a quick googgle) there is "Concordian economics" nominally an "integration of theory, policy, and practice" which borrows the algebraic rule terms commutative, distributive, and associative. There's nothing wrong in principal (practice and|or reality are other things) with positing that concepts like transfers of ownership and goods should follow some set of rules .. that is what abstract algebra is all about, { groups of things, sets of rules }. I have no knowledge of whether this is mainstream or very fringe .. but it's a thing <shrug>.
- detourdog 3y agoThat is what I was expecting.
- detourdog 3y agoThat is exactly what I thought was intriguing. Some people are attracted to what they don’t understand.
