Property versus possession, ten years on: assessing the lexical impact of the 2015 JOIE debate
评估2015年JOIE辩论的遗产，通过引文分析和文本挖掘58种经济学期刊，发现‘占有’一词未被广泛采用，相关概念也未显著进入经济学词汇。
Abstract This Comment assesses the legacy of the 2015 JOIE debate, critiquing the economic conflation of de jure ‘property’ and de facto ‘possession’. Citation analysis confirms the debate’s sustained intellectual footprint, but this did not translate into the lexical shift advocated by its proponents. A text-mining analysis of 58 economics journals finds negligible adoption of the specific term ‘possession’. A broader test for a conceptual basket of related de facto terms also fails to find robust evidence; a fragile signal in one dataset, not replicated in a second. We conclude that no significant, profession-wide lexical adoption occurred.
