围绕时间折扣的行为经济学实验与行为经济学家在肯尼亚西部的一个村庄进行合作,本文挖掘了一种特定类型的(再)量化。我们实验的参与者将货币金额转换为当地构成令人满意的膳食的单位。这种“不相称的抽象”被解释为建立在货币的数字特征与其抽象潜力的分离之上,这导致了方法论上的僵局。面对一个增量数字系统的稳定力量的损失,据称能够实现和促进货币数量的简化和可比性,我们再也无法控制实验,不得不求助于“烹饪数据”的创新实践,最终注定要失败。
Revolving around a behavioral economic experiment on temporal discounting conducted in collaboration with a behavioral economist in a Western Kenyan village, this paper excavates a specific type of (re)quantification. The participants of our experiment translated monetary amounts into units of what locally constitutes a satisfying meal. This ‘incommensurate abstraction’ is interpreted as being grounded in a disentangling of money’s numerical character from its potential of abstraction which results in a methodological impasse. Facing the loss of the stabilizing power of an incremental numerical system that allegedly enables and facilitates the commensuration and comparability of monetary amounts, we could no longer control the experiment and had to resort to innovative practices of ‘cooking data’ which, ultimately, were doomed to fail.
