Resumo: This paper frames the study of causality in economics, with time series data, within the broader context of the philosophical question of causality. To that purpose, we demonstrate that the spectrum of existing approaches in Economics results from the responses that have been given, so far, to the ontological, epistemological and pragmatic problems of causality within this discipline. We further conclude that, far from being the only possible, correct or adequate answer, the ubiquitous Granger causality is just one of those answers. In a broader perspective, our work provides a concise but articulated and historically grounded view of the origins, evolution, and problematics of the analysis of causality in Economics.

Para o efeito, demonstramos que o espectro de abordagens existentes em Economia resulta das respostas que já foram dadas, até agora, aos problemas ontológico, epistemológico e pragmático da causalidade no âmbito específico dessa disciplina. Concluímos ainda que longe de ser a única resposta disponível, correta ou adequada, a onipresente causalidade à Granger constitui apenas uma das várias respostas possíveis. Numa perspectiva mais geral, nosso objetivo é proporcionar uma visão concisa, mas ao mesmo tempo articulada e historicamente fundamentada acerca das origens, evolução e problemática da análise da causalidade em Economia.Departamento de Ciências Econômicas da UFMG2021-02-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/4931Nova Economia; Vol. 30 No. 3 (2020); 999-1027Nova Economia; v. 30 n. 3 (2020); 999-10271980-53810103-6351reponame:Nova Economia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/article/view/4931/3274Copyright (c) 2021 Nino Fonseca, Marcelino Sánchez-Riverohttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFonseca, NinoSánchez-Rivero, Marcelino2021-02-03T20:50:26Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/4931Revistahttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomiaPUBhttps://revistas.face.ufmg.br/index.php/novaeconomia/oai||ne@face.ufmg.br1980-53810103-6351opendoar:2021-02-03T20:50:26Nova Economia (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
