摘要

At present, very nearly all university departments have research institutes, organized as separate entities, with separate locations and letterheads of their own, hopeful vehicles of renown and of reputation as centres of excellence, all striving to be the first in their chosen fields. These institutions are copies of the laboratories of physical sciences, of medicine and biology, that were first established in the early 19th century, along with the great national astronomical observatories. But while most sciences do need botanical gardens, breeding stations, laboratories with advanced technical installations or hospitals with patients, as well as the white-coated staff to attend to them, the arts and the social sciences do not. For a long time they carried on perfectly well without such institutions at all. Their emergence around the middle of the 20th century was a symptom of altered conditions in the social fabric of academic life, the revelation of professional ambitions and the recognition of explicit intellectual competition. Of course there were practical arguments, too. Modern resources like competent typists, research assistants, and library and computing services could advantageously be shared; in economics, the advent of a quantitative approach and the increased importance of statistical data added to this argument. There was also a widespread hope that by copying the institutions and the working conditions of scientists, the social sciences would also copy their immense successes. Some leading professionals would advocate the creation of an institute of their own because they thought that harnessing individuals into a team with a clear programme or mission would greatly benefit scientific progress, just as the adoption of a rigid and closed doctrine may arguably contribute to such progress, at least for a time. However this may be, when these institutes finally arose in economics (as in other social sciences), they were modelled along the lines of a science laboratory, and this was sometimes reflected in their name, as at the Paris Laboratoire d'Econometrie.
