Why do societies benefit differently from knowledge? How exactly
does social interaction interfere with knowledge acquisition and
diffusion? This original Handbook brings together a wide range of
differing approaches to shed light on these questions and others
relating to the role and relevance of knowledge in economic
analysis. By illuminating the philosophical roots of the various
notions of knowledge employed by economists, this Handbook helps to
disentangle conceptual and typological issues surrounding the
debate on knowledge among economists. Wide-ranging in scope, it
explores fundamental aspects of the relationship between knowledge
and economics - such as the nature of knowledge, knowledge
acquisition and knowledge diffusion. This important compendium
embraces various fields and traditions of economic analysis and
discusses the role of knowledge in 21 papers from outstanding
international scholars. Advanced scholars and postgraduate students
interested in cross-fertilization between different fields of
economic analysis will find this Handbook of considerable
importance. Contributors: A. Amin, R. Arena, M. Augier, M.C.
