Evolutionary economics sees the economy as always in motion with
change being driven largely by continuing innovation. This approach
to economics, heavily influenced by the work of Joseph Schumpeter,
saw a revival as an alternative way of thinking about economic
advancement as a result of Richard Nelson and Sidney Winter's
seminal book, An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change, first
published in 1982. In this long-awaited follow-up, Nelson is joined
by leading figures in the field of evolutionary economics,
reviewing in detail how this perspective has been manifest in
various areas of economic inquiry where evolutionary economists
have been active. Providing the perfect overview for interested
economists and social scientists, readers will learn how in each of
the diverse fields featured, evolutionary economics has enabled an
improved understanding of how and why economic progress occurs.
This volume collects some of Giovanni Dosi's most important
publications in the new millennium, following his earlier 2000
collection, Innovation, Organization and Economic Dynamics. It
begins by offering quite a few advances in the analysis of
individual learning in evolving environments, and of organizational
structures and learning, thereby contributing to an emerging
knowledge-centred theory of the firm and to a related theory of
production. A second group of papers addresses the workings of
markets, the importance of their institutional architectures, their
diverse effectiveness as selection devices, and the evolutionary
patterns of demand formation. A third set of chapters continues the
exploration of the characteristics, drivers and performance
outcomes of industrial evolution. The fourth part of the book is a
reassessment of the role of history and path dependence in
evolutionary processes. Finally, Part five addresses both the
empirics and the modeling of the processes of growth and
development nested into coupled evolution of technologies,
corporate organizations and institutions.
Written by internationally acclaimed experts in the economics of
innovation, this volume examines how the biotechnology and
pharmaceutical sector is affected by the dynamics of innovation,
institutions, and public policy. It contributes both theoretically
and empirically to the increasingly influential Schumpetarian
framework in industrial economics, which places innovation at the
centre of the analysis of competition. Both quantitative and
qualitative studies are included, and this varied perspective adds
to the richness of the volume's insights. The contributors explore
different ideas regarding the historical evolution of technology in
the sector, and how firms and industry structure have co-evolved
with innovation dynamics. Important policy questions are considered
regarding the future of innovation in this sector and its impact on
the economy.
