Opis

This handbook provides an overview of current trends and issues in the rapidly developing field of evolutionary economics, an approach which emphasises the levels of the micro (e.g. firms and households), meso (e.g. industries and institutions), and macro (e.g. economic policy, structure and growth).

Recenzje

“I wish that this book had been available to me while I was in graduate school. This handbook has immediately become my ‘go-to’ recommendation for undergraduate and graduate students seeking the knowledge of evolutionary economics and an organised entry point into the vast literature across many disciplines it comprises and has inspired. It has also become an instant indispensable reference in my own research. No better editors could have been proposed for such a volume, and they have delivered, what is presented here is nothing less than a comprehensive, organised survey of the entire body of thought put forward by those who see the economy as a complex evolving system.”
