경제학의 전문화와 한계혁명

Abstract

As economics became one of the major subjects taught in the universities the United Kingdom and European countries in the late 19th century, the question naturally arises how the professionalization of economics had impact on the development of economics. To answer this question, this paper explains the professionalization process in the Anglo-Saxon and German cultures and tries to explain the relation between the professionalization of economics and the Marginal Revolution. The major finding is that there is no direct one-to-one relation between the professionalization and the Marginal Revolution, since there are cultural differences across different academia of different countries. However, we also find that the professionalization of economics prompted to spread the marginal analysis across countries by providing channels in which new theoretical contributions of neoclassical economics are discussed, especially in the United States at the turn of the 20th century
