There is an article / research that I have been looking for that
studied / followed the value of transactions in an economic system.  I
believe the research / article was published by two french male
authors.  I believe they were french from france and not french
canadian, but they could have been french canadian.

I believe the article / research was performed within the last 3
years. The article focused on how the more things are bought and sold
and change hands within an economic system the more growth can occur.

I wish I had more to go on, but now you see why I've had trouble
finding it...

Request for Question Clarification by pinkfreud-ga on 27 Mar 2003 20:38 PST

I've struck out on this; I can't seem to get a handle on a proper set
of search terms to narrow the field.

Would this be an academic study published in a professional journal,
or is it more of a "pop" type of article that would have appeared in a
magazine such as "The Economist"?

Anything further that you can remember may be useful to a Researcher
in tracking this down. Sometimes the tiniest of clues can lead to
success!

I believe the study was published in a professional journal, however
the synopsis that I read was in a "pop" scholar mag like the
Economist.  However I seem to remember that it wasn't anything as
mainstream as the Economist.

I believe what I read came out in either 2000 or 2001.  Also it is
"possible" that one of the industries that the study used was the real
estate industry, but I'm not sure about that.
