Abstract

This chapter develops an institutionalist political economy of macroeconomic statistics. Their conventional character is emphasised on the basis of two dimensions: - they are a collective cognitive device on which actors rely to think, reason and coordinate ; - they are the subject of intense social work and interpretations, the fruit of struggles, conflicts and power relationships. All this points to the fact that convention economics disputes the existence of a universal order of preference and postulates the plurality of quality judgements. However, this conventionalist perspective is insufficient to understand the issues at stake in macroeconomic measures and indicators. This is why regulation theory is also mobilised. This is done not as an element of macroeconomic context, but to understand how measurement conventions are distorted by transformations in accumulation regimes, and how they in turn affect these regimes.
