Sehr guter, zusammenfassender Text über das Forschungsprogramm der Evolutionsökonomie.

- Sehr interessant die klare Dreiteilung in Micro/Meso/Macro sowie jeweils auf diesen Ebenen in Rule origination/Rule adoption/Rule retention

- Zusammenfassende Übersicht (S. 50):

• Phase 1: Rule origination

- Micro: creative exploration generates novel rule - Meso: primacy of adoption in population - Macro: de-coordination of macro-structure

• Phase 2: Rule adoption

- Micro: individual adoption, learning and adaptiation of rule to individual or socially organized knowledge base - Meso: population adoption, selection and path dependence - Macro: re-coordination of macro-structure

• Phase 3: Rule retention

- Micro: neural-cognitive disposiution, manifest behaviourally in habits and routines - Meso: retentiona nd stabilization of rule in population, rule as institution - e.g. organizational routines - Macro: coordination of macro-structure.

Interessante Zitate:

• quoting Metcalfe's contribution in the volume, "structural transformation is the cnetral fact about economic growth." (p. 51)

• "How do self-organization and self-generation lead to long-run economic change? We have stated that the meso-regime is the analytical unit of an evolutionary economic macro-theory." (p. 51; Herv. i. Orig.)

• "As long as the 'representative agent' continues to be honoured, providing an improved micro-foundation for an economic growth theory will be like building a castle on the sand. An innovative entrepreneur or an innovative business leader just is not an average agent, and a population with zero-variety and homogenous traits cannot drive the dynamic of selection and learning new rules, and thus the dynamic of structural change that has been considered to be the central fact of economic growth." (p. 52)
