Increasing Returns and Network Structure in the Evolutionary Dynamics of Industries

In: Applied Evolutionary Economics

Author

  • Andrea Bonaccorsi
  • Paola Giuri

Abstract

The expert contributors to this book examine recent developments in empirical methods and applied simulation in evolutionary economics. Using examples of innovation and technology in industry, it is the first book to address the following questions in a systematic manner: Can evolutionary economics use the same empirical methods as other research traditions in economics?; Is there a need for empirical methods appropriate to the subject matter chosen?; What is the relationship between appreciative theorising, case studies and more structured empirical methods?; and What is the relationship of modelling and simulation to empirical analysis?
