过去 40 年来,英国各地区生产力的巨大差异以及日益增长的社会和政治不满情绪不断扩大,造成了功能失调的空间平衡;迄今为止,协调失败已被证明难以改变。在本文中,我们将这种持续的区域不平衡与当前关于叙事在极端不确定性下的决策中的作用的社会心理学理论联系起来,探讨社会网络中集体持有的想法如何以及为何能够成为网络社区内一系列决策的协调手段,这些决策具有市场外效应(外部性),类似于价格在市场中发挥的作用。根据在英国两个地区进行的试点访谈研究的结果,我们展示了地方领导层有潜力使用结构良好的叙述来协调分散的主体,为共同的目标进行合作,并更普遍地提出一个框架来了解低收入均衡如何变得稳定但可能会被重新设定。通过这种方式,我们对扩展知识经济理论的必要性提出了新的见解,该理论适用于极端不确定条件下的期望和偏好形成。
Substantial differences in productivity, accompanied by growing social and political discontent, have widened across UK regions in the last 40 years, creating a dysfunctional spatial equilibrium; a coordination failure that has so far proved resistant to change. In this paper, we link such persistent regional disequilibria with current socio-psychological theories about the role of narrative in decision-making under radical uncertainty to explore how and why ideas held collectively within a social network can become the coordinating device for a range of decisions within networked communities that have extra-market effects (externalities), analogous to the role that prices play within markets. Drawing on findings from a pilot interview study in two UK regions, we show the potential for local leadership to use well-constructed narratives to coordinate fragmented agents to cooperate on a common purpose and more generally propose a framework to understand how low-income equilibria become stable but might be re-set. In this way we bring new insights into the need for an expanded economic theory of knowledge applicable to expectation and preference formation in conditions of radical uncertainty.
