Opening the black boxes of global finance (2005, background): “(It is possible at least crudely to test quantitatively for the presence of arbitrage capital flight rather than more general mechanisms of financial crisis: see MacKenzie, 2003b for details and data.)”
Do economists make policies? On the political effects of economics (2014, background): “Economic knowledge, if accepted as authoritative, may also be performative, shaping the behaviour of those who are exposed to it (Callon, 1998a; MacKenzie, 2003; MacKenzie and Millo, 2003).”
Reconceptualizing financial innovation: frame, conjuncture and bricolage (2010, methodology): “The rise of Finance as an economic sub-discipline, as described by MacKenzie (2006), has not only spawned a number of Nobel prize winners but also a large number of mathematical formulae, models and theorems (Black-Scholes theorem; Capital Asset Pricing Model; Option Pricing Model; Value at Risk), w”
From New Deal Institutions to Capital Markets: Commercial Consumer Risk Scores and the Making of Subprime Mortgage Finance (2009, methodology): “Tracking calculative objects can be an extremely fruitful method for following the constitution of the financial products as well as the coordinated assessment of their qualities, around which are configured market forms (Lépinay, 2002; MacKenzie, 2003; Muniesa, 2000).”
Geographies of money and finance I: Cultural economy, politics and place (2011, background): “…technologies through which the international financial system is (re)produced, much less has been made of the ways in which these technologies intersect with specific, place-based contexts – what MacKenzie (2003) terms ‘worlds’ – to create a geographically variegated international financial system.”
Economic markets as calculative collective devices (2005, methodology): “Comparability and substitutability are at the heart of methods for pricing derivatives and of arbitrage techniques ( Beunza & Stark , 2004 ; Mackenzie , 2003b ) .”

Is Economics Performative? Option Theory and the Construction of Derivatives Markets (2006, background): “Although there were significant differences among the trio in how they approached the problem (MacKenzie 2003, Mehrling 2005), their core argument can be expressed as follows.”
Digital subjectivation and financial markets: Criticizing Social Studies of Finance with Lazzarato (2016, methodology): “Options pricing is, for instance, calculated with the Black-Scholes model, which is a highly complex mathematical equation (MacKenzie, 2003).”
