Abstract

Nous posons ici la question de savoir sur la base de quel modèle épistémique les économistes peuvent aborder le thème de l'information et de la connaissance. Nous opposons, ce qui est banal dans le domaine de sciences cognitives, et ne l'est pas en économie, le paradigme computationniste et le paradigme connexionniste. Le paradigme computationniste s'articule bien avec le courant orthodoxe ainsi qu'avec sa forme amoindrie qui est le paradigme néo-rationaliste Simonien. Par contre, on doit s'interroger sur la façon dont se manifeste le paradigme connexionniste en économie. Nous montrons dans ce papier que la théorie évolutionniste de la firme selon Nelson et Winter constitue en fait, sans que les auteurs semblent l'avoir voulu ou explicité, une bonne illustration de l'approche connexionniste. Nous plaidons pour un programme de recherche exploitant systématiquement le paradigme connexionniste pour l'analyse de l'entreprise.
