About the Book

This book takes up the challenge of developing an empirically based foundation for evolutionary economics built upon complex system theory. The authors argue that modern evolutionary economics is at a crossroads. At a theoretical level, modern evolutionary economics is moving away from the traditional focus of the operation of selection mechanisms and towards concepts of 'complex adaptive systems' and self-organisation. On an applied level, new and innovative methods of empirical research are being developed and considered. The contributors take up this challenge and examine aspects of complexity and evolution in applied contexts. The topics covered in this book include innovation and technology in industry, industry life cycles, time series econometrics and evolutionary economics, complexity and variety, entrepreneurship and evolutionary theory and the relationship between ecological and evolutionary economics. Applied Evolutionary Economics and Complex Systems will appeal to evolutionary and industrial economists and scholars of innovation studies, as well as management scientists and policymakers involved with issues of innovation.

Review :
"Applied Evolutionary Economics and Complex Systems offers a rich set of contributions exploring the connections between evolutionary economics, complex system theory, and empirical research. It focusses on how the economy viewed as a system differs in important ways from natural contexts. Knowledge and information, the population approach, and the interdependence between selection and development through the creation and destruction of variety are the three distinguishing and interrelated traits of evolutionary economics. Technological and organizational change is emphasized, together with the implications of complexity and the open character of economic systems on the behavioural characteristics of economic agents and on the ability of economists to model the behaviour of complex systems. The book addresses the challenging task of explaining and understanding which rules govern the interactions between agents and which processes and interactions change the rules of the economic game over time thus enabling the system to evolve. This book helps clarify difficult issues although it is necessarily selective, exploratory and illustrative. It is an important contribution to building a repertoire of applied case studies of evolutionary economics and complex systems.' - Robert Delorme, University of Paris/CEPREMAP, France 'This book reflects the new level of maturity of evolutionary and institutional economics. The field of evolutionary economics has moved beyond merely describing the economy as an evolving complex system and is now developing empirically testable models of economic evolution. This book is a major contribution to the revolution now taking place in economic theory as traditional welfare economics is being replaced by more realistic models of human behavior and economic organisation.' - John Gowdy, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, US"
