• From performativity to political economy: index investing, ETFs and asset manager capitalism (2016, background): “…of which has arguably prevented it from acknowledging, let alone studying, the performative dimension of key parameters of economic action in market economies, such as prices (Muniesa 2007), value (Stark 2009), interest rates (Boy 2014) or the very ‘laws’ of supply and demand (Mitchell 2011: 174).”
• The Anthropology of Money and Finance: Between Ethnography and World History (2014, background): “Discussions over how prices would be determined by the Euronext software, for example, hinged on whether it would indeed reproduce the true value expected by liberal theory (Muniesa 2000, 2007).”
• An Introduction to Market Devices (2007, background): “…organizations (Cooren, 2000, 2004; Czarniawska and Hernes, 2005), or that have emphasized the materiality of economic settings and devices (Appadurai, 1986; Beunza, Hardie and MacKenzie, 2006; Callon and Muniesa, 2005; Cochoy, 2004; du Gay and Pryke, 2002; Keane, 2003; Miller, 2005; Muniesa, 2007).”
• Revisiting marketization: from interface-markets to market-agencements (2016, background): “It thus contributes to the process of singularization in which the price becomes a variable that qualifies the good and contributes to its co-profiling (Muniesa 2007).”
• From dissonance to resonance: cognitive interdependence in quantitative finance (2012, unknown): “In this complex system of signs (Muniesa, 2007; Peirce, 1998), the spreadplot provides each trader with an indirect sign of the likelihood of the merger, achieved by signalling the aggregate of his or her rivals’ assessment of that likelihood.”
• Economization, part 2: a research programme for the study of markets (2010, background): “Beyond the contributions of Hirschman (1977), Latour and Lépinay (2008) and Rothschild (2001), who have shown just how much market function depends on the subtle interplay of interests, passions and moral sentiments, we must also mention the work of Miyazaki (2003) on hope.”
• Platform Real Estate: theory and practice of new urban real estate markets (2018, background): “This especially includes those market devices that constitute “the material and social assemblages that intervene in the construction of markets” (Muniesa, 2007): ticker tapes, calculating machines, gifts, and even the discourses by which we understand these artefacts (Callon et al., 2007; Karl,…”
