Abstract
The twelve papers in this collection grew out of the workshop on “Economic Evolution, Learning, and Complexity” held at the University of Augsburg, Augsburg, Germany on May 23-25, 1997. The Augsburg workshop was the second of two events in the Euroconference Series on Evolutionary Economics, the first of which was held in Athens, Greece in September 1993. A special issue of the Journal of Evolutionary Economics (1993(4)) edited by Yannis Katsoulacos on “Evolutionary and Neoclassical Perspectives on Market Structure and Economic Growth” contains selected papers from the Athens conference. The Athens conference explored neoclassical and evolutionary perspectives on technological competition and increasing returns. It helped to identify the distinguishing features of evolutionary scholarship. The Augsburg workshop was more oriented toward exploring methodological issues in evolutionary and related scholarship. A number of the papers employed new methods, such as genetic programming and experimental analysis, some developed new econometric techniques or raised new empirical issues in evolutionary economics, and some relied on simulation techniques. Twelve papers covering a range of areas were selected for this collection.KeywordsHuman CapitalFuzzy RegressionNational GrowthExcess VolatilityFuzzy Regression ModelThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
