Policy and state in complexity economics

In: A Modern Guide to State Intervention

  • Wolfram Elsner

Abstract

Elsner discusses the notions of ‘complexity economics’ and ‘complex adaptive systems’, addressing briefly structures, mechanisms, critical factors and dynamic properties. By focusing on an evolutionary-institutional perspective, the author considers implied requirements for the state, and introduces the idea of new meritorics, coinciding with long-standing pragmatist-instrumentalist policy conceptions and the qualifications the state itself would need to develop.
