Richard R.Nelson – An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change
DescriptionThis book is the most serious and sustained attack on mainstream, neoclassical economys in over forty years. Richard Sidney G. Winter & R. Nelson concentrate their criticisms on the core question of What happens to industries and firms as they change overtime. They raise significant objections against the fundamental neoclassical assumptions of Profit maximization and market equilibrium are two concepts that they consider ineffective in the analysis. of Technological innovation and the dynamics of Competition among firms These assumptions are replaced by biology concepts. of Natural selection used to create a precise and detailed evolutionary theory of Business behavior. They admit that films are driven by profit and are in constant search of new ways. of They believe that improving profits is a way to increase profit, but they don’t consider it profit maximization. The tendency of the more profitable companies to drive the less profit-oriented ones out is also highlighted by them. of They do business but don’t focus on hypothetical states. of Industry equilibrium The results of They have created a new paradigm and an analytical framework that are truly impressive. They have been able not only to create more cohesive and powerful models, but also improved their analytical framework. of Under certain conditions, competitive firm dynamics of Growth and technological change. However, their approach is compatible and consistent with findings from psychology and other social science. Their work also has important implications in welfare economics as well as for industry policy. Review“The book ranges from subtle theoretical analyzes of the nature of choice to highly explicit mathematical modeling, from the theory of the firm to the theory of bureaucratic agencies. It is very engagingly written, and conveys extremely well the dilemma that must haunt any social scientist worth his salt: the necessity of choosing between realism and simplicity as guides to theory construction. ” – Jon Elster , London Review of Books “[An] extremely interesting book… This volume increases one’s confidence that, after all these years, Schumpeter’s intuition can be stated in a formally respectable way, and therefore that the field of industrial organization can begin solving it’s most important problems. ” – Journal of Comparative Economics Get it now Richard R.Nelson – An Evolutionary Theory of Economic Change “An important and interesting book.” – Journal of Political Economy “The book spans an enormous literature ― dealing with economics as a process, evolutionary modeling, Schumpeterian competition, organization form, and the like ― and performs important interpretive and integrative functions. Mainly, however, the book represents a significant original research contribution in both methodological and substantive respects. It will influence teaching, research, and public policy relating to complex economic systems for years to come. While the book is written by and primarily for economists, it is broadly conceived and should impact social science research quite generally. ” – University of Oliver Williamson of Pennsylvania About the AuthorRichard R.
